The band is due to begin their three-day run at the stadium on August 8 before returning on August 9 and August 12.
Up to 210,000 fans are expected to descend on the city, which is also simultaneously hosting the Edinburgh Fringe festival.
Edinburgh Council has appealed to those attending to 'remember our residents'.
Extra trains, trams and buses will be put in place to accommodate the crowds, while key areas surrounding Murrayfield will be tidied up after each show.
Dedicated extra litter collectors will also be in place at Roseburn Park.
City of Edinburgh Council Leader Cllr Jane Meagher, said: 'Excitement is building in Edinburgh for Oasis Live 25 as it's our turn to witness rock history.
'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.'
ScotRail previously announced that extra carriages, as well as additional late-night services, will be added to routes heading to and from the capital.
Additional late-night services will operate from Edinburgh to Glasgow, Dundee, Dunblane, and Perth.
Haymarket station is also expected to be much busier than normal in the afternoon and early evening, with concertgoers being encouraged to walk to the station directly if they can.

Liam Gallagher's cheeky reference after being filmed outside portaloo by fan
At the height of Oasis' fame in the 90s and 00s, the rock band were known to be big party animals. Liam Gallagher made a cheeky drug reference to fans who spotted him heading to a backstage portaloo toilet at Oasis Live 25' reunion tour. Never one to shy away from the camera, the 52-year-old waved to get fans' attention after he seen them filming him while he was outside the toilet. Alluding to his wild younger years, the Oasis star then mimicked snorting cocaine multiple times before heading into the toilet. At the height of Oasis' fame in the 90s and 00s, the rock band were known to be big party animals with drink and drugs being a huge part of their rock and roll star status. The Gallagher brothers have since scaled it down with their antics with Liam previously admitting he had stopped drinking ahead of their reunion tour in order to 'get healthy'. However, getting healthy does not mean he's lost his sense of humour as fans praised his light hearted nature after the clip was posted on TikTok by user 1981quarterpounder, the Metro reports. In the comments, one social media user joked: "What mysterious activity is he suggesting to us" while another wrote: "Just Liam being Liam." A third penned: "Never change. Honestly made me laugh so much." Meanwhile, other people were concerned the Oasis star was 'setting a bad example' for younger fans, sparking debate about his 'sense of humour'. One disapproving person remarked: "A good example for the young generation". Another fan responded to this comment, saying: "Not his job to bring kids up properly. Fair enough if he was straight up encouraging it but he's not so". Other fans argued Liam could have simply been struggling with hayfever or a cold and was miming blowing his nose instead. One joked: "He's trying to say he's going to blow his nose as his hayfever is giving him some grief… what else could he be saying?" Another chimed in: "Poor Liam suffering from hay fever, must be bad constantly blowing your nose when your trying to perform." Liam often made headlines back in the day for his tendency to overindulge in drugs and destroy one or two hotel rooms in his wake. Meanwhile, his older brother Noel, 58, who was generally seen as more reserved. Liam developed a reputation of causing a riot at after parties with drink and drugs fuelling his antics. He once smashed up the studio they were recording in with a cricket bat, which also ended up being used by Noel to whack his sibling on the head. In their Supersonic biography, Michael Spencer Jones, the photographer behind Oasis' first three album covers, said a local repairman declared they hadn't seen damage like that 'since Ozzy Osbourne and Sabbath were recording [t]here.'

Speaking of the (What's The Story) Morning Glory album launch party, Liam said: "As soon as a line went up my nose, I could have been anywhere, mate". Speaking to The Guardian in 2017, the Champagne Supernova singer shared: "There are a few of my mates that ain't here no more, through drugs. There are a few that are in the nick. "So I think I wouldn't have got a proper job because I'm not that clever with that stuff. So I'd have been digging or dead or really badly into drugs, which would obviously lead to being dead. "Rock 'n' roll saved my life. And I am forever in debt. I am forever in debt to rock 'n' roll, and I would never, ever think of doing another form of music. Ever."

Nicola Sturgeon planning to write 'political thriller' with 'murder on every page'
The former first minister has spoken of her dream of writing a work of fiction just days before her memoir is published. Nicola Sturgeon has revealed her ambition to write a novel when she retires from frontline politics next year - and joked it could feature a "murder on every page". The former first minister revealed the plans for her next publishing venture just days before her memoir, Frankly, is published. Sturgeon, who is standing down as an MSP in 2026, was speaking today as a guest at the Women of the World (WOW) show at the Edinburgh Fringe. The ex-SNP leader has become something of a regular on stage in recent months as she steps up the promotional campaign for her political memoir. "I still have lots of ambition to go out and do different things. My biggest ambition now is to see if I've got, and I don't know whether I do, the ability to write a novel," she said in remarks first reported by STV. The outgoing MSP admitted her future novel 'may never see the light of day' but added it would likely be some kind of political thriller. She quipped: "The problem is there are too many people I'd want to kill. There'd be a murder on every second page." Sturgeon also revealed to the audience she had recently been tattooed for the first time. "Here's an ambition I've always had that I've fulfilled recently,' she said. "I got a tattoo. When I phoned my mother to tell her, she thought I was kidding.' She described the wrist tattoo as an infinity symbol with an arrow on the end. "It's a symbol of strength. It means something to me," she added. It comes as Sturgeon is set to appear on a primetime TV interview next week to promote her memoir. The former first minister will be grilled by ITV News stalwart Julie Etchingham for a special programme that will be broadcast at 7pm on August 11. Sturgeon's book, Frankly, hits the shops on August 14. Sturgeon has declared nearly £200,000 in outside earnings since standing down from the top job in Scottish politics. Her book, Frankly, is expected to lift the lid on her nine years as Scotland's leader and the breakdown of her friendship with the late Alex Salmond. According to her Holyrood register of interest, she received £75,000 in 2023 from publishers Pan Macmillan for the first of four instalments of a book advance. Other income, including a recent £76,500 second book payment made via her literary agent and fees for book reviews, was paid to her personal company. Nicola Sturgeon Ltd also received £25,000 from broadcaster ITN after the former SNP leader appeared on a general election night results show. To coincide with publication of her book, fans of Sturgeon are being charged £75 to attend a 'meet and greet' with her later this year ahead of an interview in Edinburgh.

BBC axe drama after just one series in huge surprise to show's Oscar nominated creator who believed it could ‘run & run'
The series has won a number of awards but lost more than a million viewers over its six-week run OFF AIR BBC axe drama after just one series in huge surprise to show's Oscar nominated creator who believed it could 'run & run' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STEVEN KNIGHT is a man in demand, with a James Bond movie script to deliver and Oasis' tour documentary to oversee. So hopefully his busy diary will soften the blow of the news I can reveal that the BBC has axed his critically-acclaimed drama This Town after just one series. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 The BBC has axed Steven Knight's critically-acclaimed drama This Town after just one series Credit: PA 3 Knight is a man in demand, with a James Bond movie script to deliver and Oasis' tour doc to oversee Credit: Getty The saga was the writer's love letter to the music scene that flourished in his native West Midlands in the 1980s and featured songs from Birmingham and Coventry bands, such as UB40 and The Specials. Steven saw it as his next massive hit after Peaky Blinders and felt it could run and run, in the same way the Brummie gangster epic did. He made no secret of wanting to film more episodes of This Town, commenting at the time the first series aired: 'I certainly have enough ideas for more episodes going forward. 'I hope we are with these characters for a long time to come.' But cancelling the drama, a BBC spokesman said: 'We're hugely grateful to Steven Knight and the cast and crew for bringing This Town to life — in no small part due to Steven's passion for the West Midlands. 'We look forward to working with him on new projects in the future and we're in talks about what's next.' This Town won the Royal Television Society Award for Limited Series and Single Drama earlier this year. But it lost more than a million viewers over its six-week run, having pulled in more than 3.2million for the first episode at the end of March last year. A BBC insider confirmed that Steven's busy schedule, which also includes writing ten-episode World War Two epic Roads To Freedom, was not a reason for the decision. Neither can the blame be placed on the cast, which included Michelle Dockery, not being available. Iconic TV channel axe all UK music production after almost three decades as it becomes latest casualty of streaming The decision to kill it off represents a rare failure for the man with the golden laptop, who created wartime thriller SAS: Rogue Heroes and six series of Peaky Blinders, as well as being co-creator of quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. Perhaps he could Phone A Friend and revive This Town in the future. TEENS ON TOAST, PLEASE IN my day, teenage dinners meant takeaway pizza, beans on toast or a trip to the local kebab shop. But it seems that youngsters now are far more accomplished in the kitchen than I was. 3 Casting has opened up for any eager youngsters to feature on Come Dine With Me So much so that E4 has launched its first ever teen special of Come Dine With Me. Continuing celebrations in the show's 20th anniversary year, Come Dine With Me Teens will see five teenagers try their hand at cooking up their own menu and hosting their own dinner parties over five nights. The 16 to 19-year-old competitors will score each other's efforts with a mark out of ten, like in the main show. And the overall winner will scoop a £1,000 prize. Casting has opened up for any eager youngsters in Greater Manchester. For more information, go to NEW mockumentary The Paper will pick up where the US version of The Office left off.
