The arena’s car park opens at 4pm with doors open 6.30pm. Supporting act Rachel Anson is on stage at 7.30pm with Stormzy set to start at 9pm.

Traffic will also be heavy after the gig ends at 11pm.

Many fans coming to Sheffield tonight are ticketholders who have been waiting for the show since 2020.

The long-awaited concert is part of Stormzy’s H.I.T.H tour, which was postponed both in September 2020 and April 2021 due to Covid-19 but is hitting Sheffield tonight. Official promotional posters for the gig now have “finally” written across them.
