To welcome everyone and make journeys to and from the city and the stadium as stress free as possible, key partners,

including Sunderland City Council, Sunderland AFC, transport operators and Nexus have well-rehearsed event travel and transport plans in place.

This includes a traffic management system on the day to avoid over-congestion on public transport and on the roads.   

Councillor John Price, Sunderland City Council’s Cabinet Member for Vibrant City, said:

“We’re delighted Beyoncé has chosen Sunderland as one of only four UK dates on her Renaissance Tour and we’re looking forward to welcoming concert goers from across the UK as well as the city and wider region for the concert.

“Our city centre has a huge amount to offer, with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, not to mention the fantastic pre-concert entertainment being lined up in the city centre by the City Council and Sunderland BID,

so people may well want to arrive early, enjoy some time in the city and then walk across to the stadium. We want everyone to enjoy themselves so our advice to concert-goers is to plan your journey in advance and give yourself plenty of time to get there. 

“Travelling by public transport can avoid the stress of driving, but if you are using the car, please plan your route and remember that you can’t park or pick up at the stadium as the surrounding roads will be closed for the concert.”
