James Arthur will headline Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium on Saturday night, with thousands of fans of the local star set to descend on the arena. The X Factor winner is playing his homecoming gig at the Riverside on Saturday (June 8) evening. But, as is always the case with big gigs, getting to and from the venue could be a challenge to test some concertgoers who are being urged to plan their journeys in advance.
We’ve rounded up all of the parking restrictions, road closures and public transport you need to know about if you’re heading to the gig. Where is the stadium? The Riverside Stadium is located just off the A66 in Middlesbrough, so is easy to reach when connecting from other major A-roads including the A19. Is there parking at the stadium? There is no parking at the stadium itself on the day of the concert with road closures in place for safety reasons.
The event is recommending parking at Teesside University, a 20-minute walk away and for £20. Further information is available at thebigparking.co.
