Plan your Murrayfield Stadium summer concert experience

As part of the Oasis Live ’25 world tour, Oasis are performing on Friday 08, Saturday 09 and Tuesday 12 August 2025. AC/DC will be taking to the stage on Thursday 21 August 2025 for the final European performance of the POWER UP tour.

If you’re one of the tens of thousands lucky enough to have secured a ticket for either, the atmosphere will be electric, and the city busier than usual.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or seeing either for the first time, we want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience. That’s why we’ve put together some essential tips to help you make the most of the day – from getting to the stadium to access information.

Transport

Both before and after each concert, public transport is likely to be busier than normal, so allow for additional journey time. If you can, walk to and from the stadium.

• On foot – Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium is approximately 45 minutes’ walk from Edinburgh city centre and 20 minutes’ walk from Haymarket train station. 
• By bus – Lothian Buses operate multiple routes across Edinburgh that include Murrayfield Stadium. Plan your journey, follow travel updates and buy tickets via the bus and tram app. Payment can also be made onboard by contactless or cash (exact amount only) You can also use your NEC travel pass. Bright Bus Airport Express run a regular service from Edinburgh airport into the city, with a stop at Murrayfield Stadium, while McGill’s X38 Falkirk to Edinburgh has a stop on Murrayfield Road. There are also several coach services which travel into Edinburgh, some of which stop close to the stadium, including Flixbus and Citylink. Big Green Coach is also running coach returns from several cities, including Aberdeen, Arbroath and Carlisle.
• By tram – Running every 7 minutes in both directions, Edinburgh Trams go from Edinburgh Airport to Newhaven, with a stop at Murrayfield Stadium. Alternatively, disembark at the Balgreen stop and walk the short distance to the stadium. Tickets must be purchased before boarding. Simply hold your card or payment device against one of the platform validators before boarding the tram, and again when you reach your destination. This will charge you a standard single fare. Failure to Tap Off will result in a full airport fare of £7.50. Please note, the same card or device should be used when tapping on and off in order to receive the cheapest rate.
• By train – Waverley Station is in the middle of Edinburgh city centre; Haymarket Station is at the west end. Both stations offer convenient access to the stadium, either by ongoing tram, bus or on foot. See Scotrail for train timetables and tickets.
• By car – There is no parking available in the streets around the stadium on major event days. Local road closures and parking restrictions will be in effect both before and after the concerts. It is recommended using the numerous Park and Ride facilities located around the outskirts of Edinburgh. From there, you can access the city centre or stadium via the bus or tram network. Check for live updates on road closures, accidents, weather warnings and journey times with Traffic Scotland.
