TENS of thousands of music fans will descend on the small market town of Chepstow at the end of the month for a series of high-profile concerts.

Lionel Richie, Lewis Capaldi and George Ezra are playing the town's racecourse across the weekend of June 30 to July 2.

Organisers of the events have put a multitude of travel options in place for those visiting the site over the weekend "to help concertgoers have the best experience".

This is despite planned road closures on the various days, which will see traffic funnelled through the notoriously congested centre of Chepstow.
