Pop Icon Justin Timberlake Delivers a Flawless Performance at Essex Festival

ESSEX, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 4 – Traffic congestion from a car fire and poor event management forced a couple to abandon their car and walk to the concert, highlighting significant logistical issues at the festival.

  • Justin Timberlake headlined the Chelmsford City Live festival at Chelmsford City Racecourse on Friday evening before a sold-out crowd of 25,000 people.
  • The event followed reports of significant traffic issues and poor signage, with attendees like Jason and Ruth Rutherford describing confusion and abandoning their car to walk.
  • Justin opened with his 2013 hit 'Mirrors' and performed songs including 'Cry Me A River,' 'Senorita,' and 'Can’t Stop The Feeling,' closing with 'SexyBack' and an encore of 'Until The End Of Time.'
  • Essex Police managed safety by liaising with organisers and implementing a rolling roadblock on the A131 to control traffic, while urging concert-goers to avoid unsafe actions amid delays.
  • The traffic complications and lack of clear directions highlighted the need for improved crowd and traffic management at future Chelmsford City Live events.
