Proceeds from the concert will be shared between Meadowhall's Charity of the Year, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Capital FM's charity Global's Make Some Noise.

This year's new ticket price is £5.95, an increase in cost because of '˜heightened security measures and inevitable supplier cost increases'. 

What are the timings>

The event lasts from 6pm '“ 8.30pm.

Meadowhall advise that customers aim to gain access into the event arena as near to 4.30/5pm as possible to avoid the queues which may be large due to the increased security checks and measures.

Is there a drop-off and pick-up point?

A pick-up and drop-off point is located on the lower level in the Red car park.

No. This year due to increased security measures, once you are inside the event arena you must stay for the duration of the concert.

If you choose to leave before the event finishes your wristband will be marked as void and you will not be permitted re-entry.

Why is this?

With the increased security measures on entry into the event, Meadowhall said it may cause congestion, delays and confusion with those trying to come in for the first time.

They said: 'The attention of our stewarding teams on the night needs to be focused on the safety and security of the event, rather than with trying to determine which customers have already been checked in.'

Yes, as well as facilities for disabled concert goers

Can I bring food?

No, but there is food and drink on sale within the arena.
