Rod Stewart in Wolverhampton: What time will he be on stage? What songs will he play? And who will be supporting?
A special fan village will be set up before the show at Molineux where those with tickets on the pitch or in the Stan Cullis Stand can enjoy food and drink ahead of the main event.
Organisers have urged fans to get to the stadium for when doors open at 5pm.
Entertainment is due to begin around 7pm.
Parking is available for £10 on Red Hill Street car park. Spaces can be booked by calling 0371 222 1877.
Other pay and display car parks are available on the day around the city centre.
Those arriving by train and walking to Molineux from the station cannot use the underpass as it is closed for building works. People can instead get to the stadium via Wednesfield Road and Ring Road St Peter’s to the Molineux subway.
Alternatively, fans can head up Railway Drive and through the city centre, past the Civic Centre.
Thousands will turn out to see one of Britain’s biggest ever music stars perform in the city.
The last open air show at Molineux was in 2003 when 34,000 people packed in to see Bon Jovi. Although Sir Rod played at Shrewsbury Town’s ground in 2017, this is the first time he has toured the nation for three years and the Molineux performance will be the fifth of 22 concerts at venues across England and Scotland, making it his largest UK tour of all time.
For those who have managed to get their hands on a ticket it promises to be a special night in Wolverhampton.
Peter Taylor, director at promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said: “Wolverhampton has got the jewel in the crown.
“Saturday night, outdoors, I’m told the sun is going to be shining. The concert starts at dusk and when the lights go down it’s a totally different atmosphere.
“The stage is absolutely enormous, it fills one end of the ground. He will be bringing out all his hits and there will be a few surprises in there.
“If you are a Rod Stewart fan you won’t leave disappointed and if you are seeing him for the first time you won’t leave disappointed.”
