Getting to Scottish Gas Murrayfield
With tens of thousands of fans expected across both nights, please plan your journey beforehand.
Edinburgh is also experiencing transport changes due to the ongoing Princes Street fire disruption, which is affecting some routes through the city centre.
Tram travel: Princes Street disruption and Murrayfield access
Edinburgh Trams remain an option for some concertgoers, but fans should be aware that services are currently affected by the Princes Street closure.
Due to the disruption, trams are operating a limited service between Edinburgh Airport and the West End only. Services are not currently running through Princes Street towards the city centre, Leith or Newhaven.
Fans travelling by tram should use the West End stop and continue their journey on foot. Scottish Gas Murrayfield is approximately a 15–20 minute walk from the West End, making it a suitable option for those arriving from the airport or west of Edinburgh.
Fans should check the latest Edinburgh Trams updates before travelling as service arrangements may change.
Bus services and city travel
Local bus services will continue to operate, although fans should expect increased demand, possible diversions and heavier traffic around Murrayfield before and after the concerts.
Those travelling by bus should allow extra time, particularly when leaving the stadium after the shows.
Train travel to Murrayfield
For rail passengers, Haymarket Station remains one of the most convenient options for reaching Scottish Gas Murrayfield and is within walking distance of the stadium.
Fans arriving at Edinburgh Waverley should check onward travel arrangements due to the current Princes Street disruption and allow extra time for their journey.
