Tips for fans
Each city gets a single night, so there is no second date to fall back on if your first choice sells out. If you are going to Birmingham, check the venue rules before you set off: bags can be no bigger than A4 with a maximum of two compartments, and rucksacks are not allowed. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. Parking at the NEC can be booked in advance for a saving on the standard rate.
Seven cities, seven nights and one orchestra: from noon today, the 2027 dates are open to everyone.
