The Arizona Department of Transportation is warning fans traveling to the concert from the Southeast Valley to consider using Loop 202 to bypass the I-10 and avoid downtown Phoenix.

ADOT also recommends fans leave early and allow for extra time in case of unexpected traffic jams.

The State Farm Stadium parking lots open at noon, while doors will open at 4:30 p.m.

After the show, heavy traffic is expected on Loop 101 and I-10.

The northbound and southbound Loop 101 off-ramps at Cardinals Way and HOV off-ramps at Maryland Avenue will be closed from 9 p.m. to midnight.
