The scale of this production is huge and Opie was happy to report that it can all be accommodated but it will take seven days to set it up, have the show and then dismantle it again.

Speaking to the Daily Echo, he said: “The stage itself stands higher than the stadium roof. There are 26 production trucks, including 17 steel trucks that come before us.

"We have 200 people on crew and seven tour buses. The band themselves will fly in from London.
