Auckland commuters can also expect disruption tonight as Eden Park plays host to Coldplay. 

More than 50,000 people are expected to attend tonight's concert. 

Extra flights and public transport services are being scheduled, but there will be heavy traffic and road closures around Eden Park this afternoon. 

Chief executive Nick Sautner told Mike Hosking they're excited to be involved. 

He says the tour's been running since March 2022, and after looking at rehearsals last night, he thinks it will be unforgettable.
