The Killers in Doncaster: 25,000 expected as Brandon Flowers prepares for stadium gig

The band will perform at the Eco Power Stadium tonight – and concert goers are being warned of potential traffic gridlock around the area before and after the huge show which will see the much-loved rockers performing some of their biggest hits.

Lead singer Brandon Flowers and band mates Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci Jr have spent the last few days in and around Doncaster, sound checking and preparing for tonight’s show which will see the group take to a huge stage inside the stadium.

Flowers took time to sign autographs and pose for selfies with fans outside the stadium over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Doncaster Rovers bosses have issued important information for fans heading to tonight’s show.
