Foo Fighters Take Anfield Stage as Amber Heat Warning Forces Venue to Change Rules

Liverpool FC rolled out relaxed bag and sun-cream rules plus extra water and cooling stations to protect fans during the extreme-heat alert.

Overview

  • The Foo Fighters play the first of two Anfield headline shows tonight, Thursday, June 25, with doors at 4pm and the band scheduled to perform roughly 7:15pm to 10:15pm.
  • An amber Met Office heat warning covers Liverpool for the day and organisers reported some fans leaving queues or delaying arrival because of very high temperatures.
  • Liverpool FC updated hot-weather guidance to allow travel-size suncream, one sealed 500ml clear soft plastic water bottle and small battery fans that fit an A5 bag while keeping standard security searches in place.
  • On-site heat measures include free drinking water at bars and kiosks, extra water taps on the pitch, sunscreen dispensers and medical/welfare points staffed to spot heat exhaustion.
  • Merchandise pop-ups are open at the LFC Anfield and Liverpool One stores selling limited-edition Anfield items and transport advice stresses no stadium parking with the 917 shuttle and nearby Merseyrail stations recommended.
