Stereophonics at Sheffield's FlyDSA Arena: Important security information released

Kelly Jones and Co. will kick off their latest nationwide tour with a show at the city’s FlyDSA Arena, with American band The Wind and The Wave supporting them.

The Welsh band have sold 8.5 million albums sold in the UK alone, and have no fewer than five BRIT Award nominations.

Friday’s show is the first in a series of stadium shows, which includes dates in London and Glasgow, as well as a sold-out double-header at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena.

Ahead of the event, the venue has released security information for fans.

Bags larger than A3 size (about 40cm x 35cm x 19cm) are not allowed inside – and personal belongings should be kept to a minimum to avoid additional searches and delays to entrance.

There will be no access to the venue’s car parks without a ticket, which can be pre-purchased online or upon arrival. Drop-offs and pick-ups are also not allowed in the venue’s car parks.

Gig-goers may be searched before they are allowed inside. People are therefore asked to arrive promptly when doors open at 6.30pm to avoid delays.

Smoke bombs, flares or any other pyrotechnic article are forbidden. Anyone attempting to bring these items into the Arena will be refused entry.

The Arena is now a cashless venue and only takes card payments for on-site parking and at food & drink outlets.
