MD Ian Milne first revealed that the club had plans to stage concerts on the FieldTurf back in November 2014 when he told TWTD: "What we’re working on is doing some summer concerts on the Fieldturf at a smaller level [than gigs on the main pitch], seven or eight thousand out there, which we think will work well.
"We’re talking to Ipswich Borough Council on that because we will be licensed for that, so that may happen.
"A music festival for the summer. That’s an idea, nothing concrete at the moment.”
