Kings of Leon are due to play two huge shows at the Racecourse Ground this weekend, on Saturday May 27 and Sunday May 28.
Supported by Far From Saints – the new band of former Stereophonics’ front man, Kelly Jones, and The Wind and The Wave duo Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker – and local icons, the Declan Swans, the shows are the perfect way to celebrate the end of a promotion-winning season at the Racecourse.
Preparations are well underway, with just a handful of tickets available.
If you’re looking to attend the Racecourse Ground on Saturday or Sunday, here’s everything you need to know.

Park & Ride is for pre-booked cars only. Please do not park there if you have not already booked your place.

Road closures
Pre (and during) event
Mold Road will be one way only – heading out of town – between 13.00 and 21.45, with all inbound traffic (including residents, Park and Ride and coaches to the event) using alternative routes, either directed or diverted. This will reduce any confusion at B&Q roundabout and therefore improve traffic flows.
Park & Ride and any coaches to the event will be directed through town, either via Ruthin Road and be allowed to drop off on the inbound side of Mold Road, then rejoin the outbound carriageway. This will be managed by TM Operatives. Residents will also have to access the roads opposite the stadium via the City Centre. Crispin Lane will be closed with resident access from Stansty Road only.
Post event
There will be a full road closure from 21.45, while the stadium is emptying, during which time access for residents will be controlled from both ends.
Roads affected: Grosvenor Road, Bradley Road, Regent Street, Stansty Road (under bridge)
All traffic from Wrexham Glyndwr University will exit onto the Plas Coch Roundabout.
All traffic left from Plas Coch School into Stansty Chain Road.
Crispin Lane will be closed at the access to the back of the Racecourse Ground.
When leaving the Racecourse Ground, please be respectful of our neighbours and their property.
Concessions
Concession stands will be located in the event village on the Wrexham Lager Stand car park, on the pitch and in the Macron Stand concourse. There will also be several foot outlets behind the stage.
*IMPORTANT* This will be a cashless event – card payments only
Merchandise
Merchandise stalls are available on site, on the pitch near to the bars. As above, please note that this will be a cashless event – card payments only
