Sydney's 'Beliebers' are being urged to organise their transport ahead as changes to the infrastructure in Sydney Olympic Park, and possible cell phone outages, may cause significant delays.

More than 77,000 people are expected to attend the events around Sydney Olympic Park this Friday and Saturday and the extra traffic, road closures, parking availability coupled with no major event bus service will affect all ticket holders coming to the venue.

Special arrangements have been put in place by Sydney Olympic Park to assist attendees.

People driving to the precinct are strongly urged to pre-book their parking ahead of time and to arrive early to avoid delay. Parking is limited and will fill fast.

Pick up and drop off points have been established but there will be limited access to the roads around Allphones Arena as road closures for the upcoming V8 Supercars are in place.

A suggested meeting point after the concert is at Gate 3 on Olympic Boulevard which is only a short walk from the drop off and pick up zone.

Mobile phone coverage may also be unavailable at various times throughout the day as large numbers of people accessing the network can cause outages.

Concert goers are being encouraged to make plans ahead of time if meeting friends and family to avoid any distress.

Celtic Women - Live In Concert Australia

With the Sydney show date re-scheduled, our four lovely, warm, strong and very gifted celestial sirens are sure to deliver a stunning evening performance combined with the sounds and sensibility blended with breath-taking renditions of contemporary ballads alongside traditional music from the Emerald Isle. 

Along with the distinct musical direction of Emmy® nominated musical producer, David Downes, the 2014 tour will feature a new stage production and the return of such enduring fan favourites as “You Raise Me Up” and “Orinoco Flow”.

Earlier this year, “Celtic Woman” vocalists Lisa Lambe, Susan McFadden and Celtic violinist Máiréad Nesbitt welcomed new addition - singer Máiréad Carlin - a talented young native of Derry in Ireland who already possesses a prestigious musical resume that includes performing at the 2013 BBC TV Gala concert "Sons and Daughters," a UK and Ireland concert tour with Don McLean and performing for the President of Ireland.

As a further highlight of this tour, “Celtic Woman” will be joined by 50 bright young stars from the Australian Girl’s Choir.  Known the country and indeed the world over for their angelic voices, the AGC is our country's leading performing arts organisation for girls and currently have over 4,000 choristers in training.   They have performed at many memorable events including World Reconciliation Day for Nelson Mandela, Ellen DeGeneres’ welcome party, Queen Elizabeth II and President Barack Obama during official functions at Parliament House, Canberra.

The return visit to Sydney of “Celtic Woman” is sure to be an uplifting mix of timeless tradition and contemporary craft, transcending national and cultural borders to touch the hearts of a very devoted international fan base.
