How to get to Oasis Murrayfield gigs by bus, train or tram - full public transport options
As the countdown to the much-anticipated Oasis Edinburgh shows continues, it's time to start planning your way to and from the gig.
And with over 67,000 fans descending on the stadium for each of the Gallaghers' three shows in the Scots capital, it's safe to say that you don't want to leave your organising to the last minute.
Liam and Noel will be taking to the Edinburgh stage on August 8, 9, and 12, when eager fans will finally hear hits like Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger for the first time since the brothers' infamous fallout 15 years ago.
But with such a large-scale series of events, which chaotically coincides with the Edinburgh Fringe and Festival, it's very important to know how you're going to get to and from the gigs amid the crowds.
With this in mind, we've rounded up some ways you can get to and from Murrayfield Stadium for the concert, including bus, train and tram. For Edinburgh road closures taking place during the gigs, see our list here.
But scroll down for everything you need to know about public transport to Murrayfield.
Train
Murrayfield Stadium is a 23-minute walk from Haymarket train station, according to Google Maps, so those travelling into Edinburgh from elsewhere for the gig would do well to get off the train here.
Be mindful that Waverly Station is a fair bit further to Murrayfield, although plenty buses or trams are available to get to Murrayfield from there. Scroll down for all the best inner city bus options.
Bus
Citylink is offering special services straight to the concert venue from Dundee, Perth Broxden, Halbeath Park and Ride, and Kinross Park and Ride to take you straight to the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium.
However, Citylink notes that because these are special services, NEC cards won't be valid. Flixbus and Megabus also offer varied options for those travelling from further afield to Edinburgh city centre.
If you've made your way to town in Edinburgh, several Lothian buses will take you straight to the doorstep of Murrayfield (where there are also many pubs to have a pint before heading in).
The standard adult single fare for Lothian buses is £2.20.
Some Lothian bus options include:
26 Clerwood (Lothian buses)
31 Eastcraigs (Lothian buses)
12 Gyle Centre
You can get off at Roseburn Gardens or Murrayfield Road to be deposited just outside the venue. Other buses that pass by Murrayfield include the Citylink 900 to Glasgow, although this option may also be pricier than Lothian buses.
Tram
For those looking for a speedier option from Waverly or Haymarket station, or from Edinburgh city centre, the tram is another perfect way of getting to the gig. With a stop directly at Murrayfield Stadium, you can be dropped directly at the gig in a few minutes.
But be sure to always buy your tram ticket at the stop before boarding, as tickets are unavailable to buy once you've hopped on. A return adult ticket for inner city travel on the tram is £4.20, or it's £2.20 for a single.
Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to and from the gig, especially when trying to catch a bus or train, as it's likely to be extremely busy on all three nights.

Scots EasyJet passengers sleep on airport floor in Bulgaria after ‘eggy smell' forces flight to make emergency landing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS passengers were forced to sleep on an airport floor after an 'eggy smell' forced the emergency landing of their plane. The flight from Dalaman in Turkey to Edinburgh took off on Tuesday night and was expected in Scotland at 12.45am on Wednesday. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Easyjet flight was forced to land due to an 'eggy smell' 2 The holimakers were in Dalaman, Turkey But two hours into the journey, the plane made a U-turn over Serbia and landed in Sofia, Bulgaria due to the foul stench. The crew had already flown their hours for the day so another aircraft had to be sent from London Gatwick to pick up the weary Scots families returning from their sunshine breaks. Some chose to sleep on the sirport floor after hotels took hours to secure - and families were told they would have to pay for the transit costs themselves. At around 5.30am, Scott Duncan and his wife, Emily Powell, were told accommodation had been found for them; however, they'd have to pay for transport to the premises. They told STV News: 'Check out times were between 10am to 11am, along with paying for transport there and back, and needing to be at the airport for 3pm to pass security for a 5pm flight, we decided it was better to stay in the airport overnight. 'After sleeping on the floor for an hour after being refused seating from the Costa staff, eventually they opened the seating at 7am and allowed us chairs to sleep on. 'We have had nowhere to store our luggage and still no word on food or water, as well as airport staff reporting that there has been no word from an EasyJet representative. 'We have barely slept, are extremely dehydrated and provided very weak air conditioning in over 30-degree weather.' Scott's wife, Emily, added: 'We can clearly understand that it is not the cabin crew or the pilot's fault as they were making sure that we were safe, and this is completely on EasyJet.' Vicky Walker, who noticed a 'foul smell' prior to landing, said passengers were assured that accommodation, water and food would all be handled by the UK airline. Drunk offshore worker causes carnage on Scotland-bound easyJet flight after partner dumps him But the 37-year-old from Forfar, Angus, says she spent the night in the Bulgarian airport. She said: 'We were offered a hotel room, but we had to make our own way there, to then be told we would need to check out of the hotel at 10am. 'My friend and I didn't have the money to pay for it, so we ended up in the airport with others. We haven't been offered any water or food and have had no information given to us at all. 'Just a horrendous experience. Needless to say, I won't be travelling with EasyJet again. 'I'm shattered and it just put a total dampener on my holiday.' The flight, EZY3282 is expected to land in Edinburgh around 7pm today. EasyJet has been contacted for comment.

Trust issues ground Scots' confidence in airport technology
Scottish air passengers are the most cautious in the UK when it comes to airport technology, showing strong preferences for printed boarding passes and hesitancy around new technology like AI and biometrics, according to IT services firm Getronics.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The findings come from Getronics' 2025 Travel Trust Barometer, a UK wide survey that asked 2,000 people about their attitudes toward data security and technology in travel. The research found that Scots are more likely to favour physical boarding passes than people elsewhere in the UK, with 35% of Scottish passengers preferring printed passes compared to just 28% across the rest of the country. Another 23% of Scots said they use both physical and digital passes, highlighting a cautious, belt-and-braces approach to technology. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The survey also shows only 52% of Scots say they feel in control of their personal data when travelling which is the lowest level of confidence anywhere in the UK. Data security in airports The same proportion of Scots (52%) trust airports to keep their information safe, and a majority (61%) believe airports collect more personal information than necessary. Andrew Madigan, client director at Getronics, said the findings highlight a need to build greater public confidence in both airport technology and how personal data is handled. He said: 'Technology is becoming an increasingly central part of the airport experience, and that trend is only set to continue as the industry evolves. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'New technology can be a daunting prospect for all kinds of reasons. Reliability and safety are two key issues, which means airports are having to work hard to keep passengers informed and educated about how planned changes are going to make the air travel experience safer, more convenient and more enjoyable.' Andrew Madigan, client director at Getronics Getronics specialises in building resilient, industry-leading IT security systems that protect mission-critical operations, working with a range of Scottish and UK airports. Andrew added: 'We're seeing growing need to modernise whilst defend against a persistent increase in hacking attempts across the sector. 'Airports need to build that trust, particularly in Scotland, and building a strong digital infrastructure has to sit at the heart of this. 'Technology will continue to evolve, but airports must ensure that protecting personal data evolves with it.'
