James Morrison headlined opening night at the home of Leicester Tigers on Thursday evening, with Will Young top of the bill 24 hours later as Tigers successfully celebrated their first concert events.
And work began immediately afterwards on removing the stage, lighting and sound system, and pitch protection as Tigers prepare to host the JP Morgan Asset Management Premiership Sevens this weekend.
Tigers managing director David Clayton said: “The stadium concerts were a first for Leicester Tigers and a first for the city of Leicester.
“We have welcomed many people to Welford Road who haven’t been to the stadium before.
“The concerts are part of an exciting summer here at Welford Road which continues this week with our first Premiership Sevens tournament.”
Premiership champions Tigers face opposition from Sale Sharks, Newcastle Falcons and Leeds Carnegie in the northern section of the new Sevens series.
Entry to the Sevens is free to Tigers season ticket holders on production of their season ticket card. For every additional ticket purchased by a season ticket holder you can also buy one at half-price.
For all other supporters, adult tickets are just £10, with juniors £5. Family tickets (2 adults & 2 children) are available at the special price of £25. Or buy two tickets and get a third free so you can enjoy an evening with friends or family at the home of the Guinness Premiership champions.
All supporters will be accommodated in the Caterpillar Stand.
Kick-off in Friday’s opening game is at 7.30pm, with match action and entertainment until 10pm.
Tickets can be purchased in person from the Tigers ticket office (open 8.30am-5pm Monday-Friday and until 8pm on Wednesdays, and 9am-5pm on Saturdays) or call the ticket hotline on 0844 856 1880.
