Important Details for Harry Styles’ Cardiff Gigs
This marks the first time that the solo superstar will perform in the Welsh capital without his former One Direction bandmates.
Fans known for their dedication are reminded to adhere to ticket order and avoid camping out overnight, as there are no provisions for overnight stays.
City Centre Road Closures and Transport Disruptions
Cardiff will experience high levels of activity on both concert days, resulting in a full city centre road closure.
The closures will be implemented earlier than usual, starting at 12 noon, and some roads may close as early as 7am.
Buses will be diverted to accommodate the expected queues.
Travel Advisory and Precautions
The council advises concert-goers to plan their journey in advance, arrive early at Cardiff and the stadium, and familiarize themselves with the prohibited items listed on the Principality Stadium website.
Provisions for park and ride, park and walk, and other transportation options are available to facilitate travel.
Road Closures and Access Information
Detailed road closure information includes specific timings and affected streets, such as Kingsway, Cowbridge Road East, Tudor Street, and others.
Additionally, access to the Civic Centre will be controlled throughout the day.
Trains, Coaches, and Additional Services
Transport for Wales will replace rail services with buses on the Core Valley Lines network due to infrastructure upgrades.
Train services are expected to be busy, and additional capacity will be provided where possible.
Great Western Railway (GWR) will run extra trains to assist customers in their journeys.
Cycling, Walking, and Shopping Parking Options
Local residents in Cardiff are encouraged to travel by bicycle or on foot, as shorter trips can often be faster by these means during congested periods.
Various city centre car parks are available for shopping, and designated disabled parking is provided.
Taxis and taxi ranks will be affected by the road closures.
