Bruce Springsteen and Daniel O'Donnell to perform in Belfast tomorrow night, May 9, as traffic guidance issued by PSNI

Whilst both have thousands of adoring fans, they are visiting venues in different locations in Belfast.

Daniel O’Donnell in Concert will see doors open in the Waterfront Hall at 6.30pm with a show start time of 7.30pm.

Organisers also say the show will finish around 10.30pm.

And whilst the PSNI issued extensive travel information for the Bruce Springsteen gig at Boucher Playing Fields, a PSNI spokesman said they do not see it as necessary to issue any travel advice for the event.

A spokesman for Daniel O’Donnell said tickets for their Belfast show ‘sold steadily and whilst not sold out, there is a really good attendance’.

He added that the Donegal based singer, who is one of the most prolific and successful recording artists in the UK charts, is the only artist in the world to score a hit in the UK album charts every year since 1988, an unprecedented and unbroken 36-year span.

This has ‘outshone everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna, to U2 and the Rolling Stones’.

However, the PSNI have issued strict travel guidelines for Springsteen fans.

‘Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will take to the stage at 7pm sharp, according to organisers. However Boucher Playing Fields will open at 5pm.
