This is everything you need to know about the concert - including how to get tickets and where the venue is.

What is the concert?

Later this year, musician Liam Gallagher is set to hold a special concert specifically for NHS workers at 20,000 capacity venue, The O2 in London.

Liam Gallagher tweeted: “It’s an honour to announce that I will be doing a gig for NHS and care workers at London’s The O2 on October 29th. They do an incredible job, we are very lucky to have them. LG x”

On the promotional image for the concert, it reads: “Liam Gallagher plus special guests.”

The guests joining Liam are still to be announced.

How do I get tickets?

Tickets have been made exclusively available to NHS staff and NHS contract staff as of 9am on Wednesday 15 April.

Tickets are limited to two per person – an eligible NHS staff member and one guest. You can access the tickets on the O2 website here.

When you click on ‘apply for tickets’, you’ll be taken to a new page that will inform you that you’re now in a queue. When it’s your turn to enter the queue, you’ll have five minutes to enter the website – if you do not enter the website in those five minutes, you’ll lose your place in the queue.

It’s not clear what documents or identification NHS staff and care workers will need to claim their tickets. However, it’s likely you will need an NHS ID card or Primary Care Trust ID card.

When is the concert?

The concert will take place on Thursday 29 October at the O2 arena in London.

The full address of the venue is: The O2, Peninsula Square, London, SE10 0DX.

The event page states that doors will open at 6:30pm, but this could change as we get closer to the day.

You can read more about travelling to the arena on The O2 website here.

Also included on the event page is a statement saying that Big Green Coach are offering free travel to the show – you can read more about the offer here, as well as how to book your seats.
