Rod Stewart in Shrewsbury: 1,000 extra tickets being released

The tickets will be priced in the lowest category of £55 and are being released after a previous batch of cheaper tickets sold out "very quickly".

Rod will perform at Shrewsbury Town's Greenhous Meadow stadium on June 7.

It will be one of only two mainland British gigs ahead of his headline slot at the Isle of Wight Festival.

A spokesman for Cuffe & Taylor, the promoters behind the concert, said: "The £55 tickets for Rod Stewart's Shrewsbury gig sold out very quickly as is always the case, however due to the demand we have decided to add a further 1,000 tickets at this price.

"These will be on sale from today.

"Our aim always is that everyone who attends our concerts has a fantastic and memorable experience and we want our shows to be affordable to as many people as possible.

"There are a variety of tickets still on sale for Rod's concert and we would advise people to snap these up as soon as they can as it will be a great night."

Promoters have previously said tickets are selling well ahead of the show, which could attract upto 20,000 people to the town.
