The message from Lismore City Council is that the One From The Heart concert this Sunday at the Lismore Showgrounds will be on rain or shine.

We may get a little of both at this stage as the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a shower or two with 0 to 1mm expected so hopefully more sun and cloud than rain.

What we do know is the ground at the showground will be soggy. This could be Lismore's version of Woodstock!

Good sturdy boots or shoes that you don't mind getting wet and muddy are the go along with a poncho or rainjacket as umbrellas are on the banned list along with eskys and chairs.

There is some seating around the Lismore Showground including the stands but not for 13,000 people so LCC is recommending you bring a blanket or tarp to sit on.

To give you an idea of where the stage will be, check out the photo below.

You will notice part of the fence has been removed with the stage now on the grass area before the wall (to the right of the Lifeline Distribution Centre) so the majority of the crowd will be in the speedway oval looking up at the artists on stage.

Organiser Mark Pope told the Lismore App plastic will be laid underneath 30-40 metres of terraplas (interlocking matting) to try and keep the mosh pit from being a complete bog and protect the grass.

There will be a 40-foot screen on the right-hand side of the stage as you look from the stands.

FOOD AND DRINKS

This is a licensed event and there will be a range of food and beverages available.

You can also bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks – please make sure drinks are sealed and there is no glass.

Proof of age photo ID is required to purchase or consume alcohol, and service will not be provided to patrons who are under 18 years of age or intoxicated. The venue reserves the right to deny entry to and/or evict intoxicated patrons or under-age patrons found with alcohol. No alcohol can be removed from the event site.

SMOKING

Smoking is prohibited in all parts of the venue except designated smoking areas.

DISABLED ACCESS

Exclusive to patrons presenting a valid Disability Parking Permit and corresponding authorised concert ticket, vehicle access and parking is available: driving from the Alexandra Parade turn off from Tweed Street. Traffic control will direct to the allocated parking.

There is also a designated area for those with a disability to watch the concert.

NO PASSOUTS

Please note: there will be no pass-outs so once you are inside you cannot leave and return.
