The stadium is being divided into multi-coloured zones for the event, to make it easier for visitors getting in and out of the venue.

Gig-goers are being reminded to check their tickets carefully in advance, so they know where to go and which zone to look for when they arrive on the night.

There will be a colour on the top of your ticket and it will correspond with an entry point at the stadium.
