AN attempt to overturn a council's refusal to allow a concert by veteran rocker Bruce Springsteen has been adjourned until next Thursday.

The challenge was brought by Lancashire County Cricket Ground, SJM Concerts and Rock Steady Security following Trafford Borough Council's decision to reject the licensing application for the event.

The open air concert was scheduled for May 29 at the cricket ground and is a sell-0ut with 50,000 tickets bought.

Trafford Magistrates' Court was told on Wednesday that the income derived from concerts was vital to the upgrade of the 146-year-old ground.
