Residents & Motorists Advised to ‘Make Plans Accordingly’ Ahead of Stereophonics Concert

Motorists and residents in Wrexham area being advised to ‘make their plans accordingly’ and to expect delays ahead of the highly anticipated Stereophonics concert next month.  

More than 20,000 music fans are expected to descend on the Glyndwr University Racecourse Stadium for the sell-out Stereophonics on Saturday 2nd July.

Organisers are due to publish details of their traffic and parking plans for the day this week. While final details have yet to be published, it is anticipated that the Mold Road area could have temporary closures to allow for traffic management / the volume of people to enter and exit the stadium.

In the meantime North Wales Police are keen to warn motorists that they will need to be patient and to expect some delays and diversions.

Supt Alex Goss said: “This will be the largest influx of people into Wrexham on a single day, to one location, for a considerable time.”

“We want concert goers to have a great time and for those not going to Racecourse ground to be able to go about their business as easily as possible.

“With such large numbers converging on the town it is important that people, especially those who are not going to the concert, are aware that it will be an extremely busy day and to bear this in mind when out and about.”

Plans for the Stereophonics concert in Wrexham were first announced in March 2016, with tickets selling out within an hour.

The Stereophonics will perform Wrexham’s first stadium gig in over 30 years and will be joined by fellow Welsh rockers, Catfish and the Bottlemen.
