This is the current scene at Bowker Vale where there are queues of around an hour and a half for a tram back into town. The Heaton Park stop shut at 9pm and fans have to walk here. There are lots of Metrolink staff controlling the crowds
People are packed into the trams heading back to the city centre
The driveway vendors are out in force. All sorts on offer from burgers to t-shirts to watermelon

Heidi Preston, 44, from Speke on Merseyside said it was ‘unbelievable’ and that she had goosebumps during Live Forever. “Stood up for 10 hours, my back’s killing….but I’d do it all again” she said
Jack Fawcus, 21, from Barnsley, said the gig was ‘unreal’ and ‘the best moment of my life.’ “I would have paid triple…” he said.
Lauren Pratt, from Salford, who is celebrating her 26th birthday today said she was in tears during favourite song The Masterplan. She said it was everything she hoped for ‘and more’
