"With all of our partners in the city we've been planning for this for some time to make sure we're ready to welcome thousands of Oasis fans over three nights.
"There will be extra trains, trams, and buses to accommodate concert goers, along with those attending our summer festivals. With this in mind we urge you to plan ahead.
"We are keen for everyone to have an enjoyable experience, not only at the show, but on their way before and after. Whilst we relish hosting the biggest and best events and want everyone attending to truly enjoy themselves, it's important that we remember our residents.
"We ask that visitors are considerate and respectful of them whilst enjoying our fantastic capital city. We're urging people to only travel to Murrayfield and the surrounding area if you have a ticket."
Meanwhile, famous Glasgow music venue King Tut's Wah Wah Hut is to mark the hotly anticipated return of Oasis to Scotland with a special screening of 2016 British music documentary Supersonic.
The screening of the acclaimed documentary, which charts the band's meteoric rise, will take place just two nights before the band take to the stage at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium for their first Scottish show since they performed at the stadium back in 2009.
The screening on August 6 in the very venue where Oasis were famously discovered and signed in 1993.
"Whether you're reliving the glory days or discovering the story for the first time, this special evening at King Tut's promises to be a celebration of Oasis, their legacy, and the unforgettable part Glasgow played in their journey", King Tut's said.

Prince William 'insists he's addressed in one way and one way only'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The British public appears to be harbouring resentment towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with one Royal expert suggesting "it will go on as long as the Palace wants it to." With rumours of a potential meeting between Harry and King Charles in September, it seems the Palace might be softening its stance slightly, indicating room for reconciliation. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Prince William is ready to welcome Harry back with open arms. According to Ian Pelham Turner, it's not just Harry who's facing criticism. He claims that William has insisted his staff address him as "Sir,". The former Royal photographer commented, "There's something going on with William." We had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Pelham Turner via Zoom. His career at the Palace overlapped with both Princess Diana and the then Prince Charles, and he transitioned from photography to television while maintaining a keen interest in the Royal Family, reports the Mirror US. As part of the media circle covering the royals, Pelham Turner shared his insider knowledge, revealing that there have been complaints about the Prince of Wales from his employees. Claims about Prince William. Despite presenting a gentle image during Royal engagements, behind closed doors, it seems William may be less affable. The Royal commentator stated: "Now, for me, we hear a lot more now that more and more allegations, and that's all that you can say about William, are coming out." He added: "It's coming out that his staff find him, at times, very aggressive, and I know one of his many supporters, for his housing charity, and this guy is a volunteer, and he was telling me that William is constantly on to him all day, all night, saying, 'How much money have we made? How much money have we made?'". Beyond being aggressive, Pelham Turner claims William's demeanour has shifted, noting that whilst he was relaxed during his twenties and thirties, now in his forties with his sights set on the throne, he has become considerably more formal, demanding people address him as "Sir," rather than using his first name. "From what we hear, there's been a subtle change in William, anyway, in the past, when Harry was around, and they were in their twenties and their thirties, they could always be addressed as William and Harry, now he doesn't allow that, he wants to be addressed as 'Sir.'". Staff members say he's 'aggressive'. Harry and Charles' representatives held a face-to-face meeting in London recently, and it's being reported this marked the initial step towards a potential reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, particularly King Charles. However, there was no representation for William, which Pelham Turner found rather significant. He said: "I thought it was very poignant that none of William's team was at that meeting, and I think that picture was more a picture to William than it was to the rest of the world." Harry's two representatives and Charles's representative were spotted on the balcony of a restaurant, a move which Pelham Turner believes was intentional to send a message to William that this is happening, whether he's involved or not.
