Traffic England is also showing delays on the M6 southbound from Junction 31A down to where it meets the M61.

The city is being told to prepare for a very busy 48-hours on the road network as BBC Radio 2 In The Park takes place in Moor Park.

Road closures will be in place on a number of roads surrounding the sites – particularly in the 9pm to 12midnight period as the festival site empties out.
