State Minister for Housing and Public Works Mick De Brenni said The Gabba had a strict plan in place to ensure the cricket pitch was not damaged by the concert.
“Plastic sheeting will go down at the very last minute and before sunrise the morning after it will be gone,” he said.
Brisbane City Council’s deputy mayor Adrian Schrinner told residents to use public transport for getting to and from the venue.
“Don’t even come and try and find a park, that’s not the way to get here,” he said.
“Take public transport, it’s free if you’ve got a ticket. Parking will be restricted around this area, there will be road closures.”
Hundreds of extra buses will be running from 4.30pm and again for up to 90 minutes after the concert ends.
Ticket holders have free travel on council buses and QR services from noon.
Pre-event shuttles will run every two to three minutes from Carindale, Chermside, Ann Street in the CBD and Eight Mile Plains from 4.30pm.
Post-event shuttles will run every one to two minutes to Carindale, Chermside, Ann Street in the CBD and Eight Mile Plains for 90 minutes after the concert ends.
It took four days for the stage to be built and production trailers began loading on Monday.
The Gabba manager Blair Conaghan gave concert-goers some key reminders including to take public transport to the event, to arrive early, to print your ticket as mobile tickets are not accepted and to ensure all bags were under A4 size.
Gates will open at 5.30pm, with warm-up acts Charli XCX and The Broods to start at 7pm.
Swift is due to start at 8.30pm.
