Your air guitar has gotten pretty good.

Your attempt to match Dave Grohl’s guttural screams may have attracted some of the neighborhood cats.

And we’re definitely working on our cardio in preparation for the Foo Fighters’ famous three-hour set mosh.

But Saturday night’s concert in York Park is set to be the proverbial Launceston mess, so there are a few things you need to know.

Are you one of the 24,000 people with tickets?

Ticket holders were reminded this week of what they can and cannot do with their admission fee.

There’s some advice that’s standard at a concert of this size, and it could be a refreshing experience for Tasmanians who haven’t had the opportunity to do so in their home state.

Gates open at 5 p.m. We recommend arriving early and only entering through the gate specified on your ticket. If you require accessible seating, our staff will assist you.

Camping outside the venue is prohibited, but you may line up early for a better view of the concert.

However, chairs, pillows, umbrellas, mattresses, etc. cannot be brought into the venue, so please do not bring them in to ensure a comfortable waiting experience.

Additionally, it is prohibited to bring baggage larger than A4 paper into the venue, and there is no luggage storage or cloakroom inside the venue.

Importantly, water bottles are also not allowed inside the arena, but there are multiple water stations on site, as well as food and other beverage options.

A hot day is expected in Launceston, with temperatures reaching the low 20s, so you should plan on wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated throughout the day.

Road closures and parking

Launceston City Council has recommended that several roads and car parks in the York Park area will be closed throughout the weekend.

Invermay Road between Forster Street and Lindsay Street will be closed from Saturday afternoon until early Sunday morning, and Inveresk North car park will be closed from Friday night until Sunday morning.

There will also be road closures from the Dry Street, Bedford Street, Russell Street, Gliador Street, Robertson Street and Windsor Street ends of Holbrook Street.

People who live on closed streets can also access it, but they must show a driver’s license with their address on it.

Inveresk South car parks will be available for concert-goers only from noon on Saturday to 6am on Sunday, while area car parks along Invermay Road will be closed for 24 hours from 6am on Saturday.

Parking is available at the Churchill Park sports complex as well as in the CBD car park which is open overnight.

Accommodations are nearly sold out across the city

However, ideally you’ll have accommodation within walking distance of the stadium so you don’t have to worry about parking.

However, if you have not yet secured accommodation, you may run into problems.

The remaining listings available online feature hotel rooms listed for a few hundred dollars and others for more than $2,000.

Or, if you want to spend more than $3,500 per night, you can book a one-bedroom home.

However, Launceston Mayor Matthew Garwood has warned against leaving the issue unattended until this week.

If you’re flying into Launceston from the interstate for the show, there are buses that take you from the airport to the city.

A permanent airport bus service to Launceston was promised in last year’s election but has yet to materialize.

Skybus is offering a “special event service” from Thursday to Monday to meet the demand of Foo Fighters ticket holders. Bus tickets can be purchased online.

“Expectations are high.”

Unsurprisingly, the concert sold out quickly when tickets went on sale last month.

Promoter Frontier Touring said tickets sold out in “record time”.

“This sold-out Foo Fighters show will be their first in Tasmania since 2015 and their first in Launceston,” the promoter said.

Through Stadium Tasmania, The State Government and Launceston City Council paid $650,000 to host the one-off show.

At the time, Government Minister Eric Abetz said he expected the province’s investment to result in an “11:1 return” for the province and the city.

Premier Jeremy Rockliffe announced the show in a Facebook post, saying it would be Tasmania’s “biggest concert ever”.

Support acts on the day will be Brisbane’s Full Flower Moon Band and local Launceston act Spooky Eyes.
