Formed in 1994, the Foo Fighters are an American rock band.

They are known for their hits including Everlong, The Pretender, Learn to Fly, Best of You, My Hero, All My Life, Times Like These, and many more.

The group is made up of Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, and Josh Freese.

In a social media post, Traffic Scotland said: "Don't make the same mistake as Davy Grolton.

"Make sure you plan ahead when heading to Hampden Park tonight.

"We expect traffic to be heavier than normal on the M74, M77, M8, and M80.

"Please consider public transport options."

 

 

It comes after we reported ScotRail issued a warning ahead of the concert as well last week.

The rail company is urging fans to allow extra time for travel as trains to and from the city centre are expected to be more popular than normal.

They are also advising concertgoers to plan their journeys and buy their train tickets in advance.

On top of that, ScotRail has said extra services will be added to and from Glasgow Central for the gig.

The event will kick off at the football stadium at 5pm, however, the Foo Fighters are set to take the stage at 8pm.
