Often the same future event can be described in different ways:
The shop closes at 3 pm tomorrow.
The shop will close at 3 pm tomorrow.
The shop is closing at 3 pm tomorrow.
The shop is going to close at 3 pm tomorrow.
FUTURE TIME
Which way you choose to describe something depends on a number of things:
Function (For example do you want to express a request, a promise or an offer?)
How you see the furture event/situation. (for example, if you see a future event as a fixed event that cannot be
changed, the present simple may be appropriate.)
Level of formality (will is usually more formal than be going to)
