Take That fans armed with tents, inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags began lining up for the band’s concert almost two days before it began.

Around 30,000 music lovers will attend Carrow Road stadium in Norwich, Norfolk, tonight, and some dedicated fans arrived outside at 5am yesterday

Take That is in the midst of playing 40 stadium shows as part of the ’90s pop band’s This Life tour.

Debra Legg, 59, was the first fan to line up at 5am yesterday and explained that she enjoys the “atmosphere” that comes with outdoor camping.

‘It’s just incredible. “It’s a fantastic atmosphere, a lot of us are friends,” he told bbc.

Mrs Legg, from Swindon, said she had seen the band “probably 100” times.

Ciara Oakes, 26, was one of the first in the queue on Monday morning and said the furthest she had traveled to see Take That was Dubai.

The devoted fan brought a tent, inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags to camp outside the stadium before the concert.

“It’s been really good, there’s always a good atmosphere and everyone gets along really well.” You know people who have done it with you before,” she said.

The band’s This Life tour is the twelfth concert tour by the English pop band, consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen.

The first leg of the tour kicked off at the Utilita Arena Sheffield on April 13 and will finish at Manchester’s Co-op Live on June 12.

The band have reveled in the success of their latest album, This Life, which shot straight to number one.

In April, it was reported that Take That has a film project in the works about their upcoming tour.
