Fans can only meet the Smooth singer if they have already bought a copy of the album or grab one from JB Hi-Fi on the day.

To ensure fans don’t Push each another around, there’ll be room for 500 people on the ground floor near the stage, which will be on level one near Myer and the Commonwealth Bank.

Eastland is predicting a big crowd for the event, but it’s unlikely there will be people lining up at 3am like JoJo Siwa’s concert last year.

The teen sensation drew 15,000 fans, packing out the centre and all viewing spots in Ringwood Town Square.

If you can’t get to Eastland tomorrow you’ll have another chance to see Thomas in November.

He’s just announced a national tour which will take him to Coldstream’s Rochford Wines for an A Day On The Green show on November 9, followed by a concert at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on November 19.
