Park and Ride options for Oasis at Murrayfield as hotly-anticipated gigs near
Oasis' Murrayfield gigs are just a couple of weeks away, so it's high time fans started planning how to get there. With over 67,000 revellers attending each of the brothers' three gigs in Edinburgh, which are taking place on August 8, 9 and 12, it's safe to say that traffic will be BUSY.
And what's more, the Scottish capital will already be overrun with crowds due to Edinburgh's Fringe Festival, which coincides with the three Oasis tour dates.
We've outlined how to get to the gig by public transport and what road closures fans can expect, along with which items are allowed or prohibited from the venue.
But another way of getting to the stadium to consider is making use of Edinburgh's many Park and Ride services.
Those brave enough to tackle the traffic may wish to opt for a Park and Ride service over driving the whole way to the gig to save themselves from the worst of the jams.
Here's everything you need to know about getting to the gig via Park and Ride.
Park and Ride options to get to Murrayfield Stadium
Citylink is offering several special bus services from various cities, including some Park and Ride spots.
Halbeath Park and Ride and Kinross Park and Ride will see these extra Citylink services that will deliver you straight to Murrayfield's doorstop.
But because these are special additional services, Citylink has warned that NEC cards such as the Young Scot Card or Over 60s concession card will not be valid on these particular buses.
Ingliston Park and Ride is a great option for those taking the M8 from Glasgow or elsewhere in the central belt, due to its proximity to the motorway.
The Edinburgh tram can take fans straight to Murrayfield from there in under 20 minutes, or the Airport Express bus also goes through Ingliston and stops outside the stadium.
Also just off the M8, Hermiston Park and Ride is another option, from where you can hop a number 25 bus to Restalrig.
If you get off on Gorgie Park Road, you're a mere 13 minute walk from Murrayfield, according to Google Maps.
Other Park and Ride facilities in Edinburgh include Straiton and Newcraighall, but these both involve longer and more complicated bus routes to get to Murrayfield.
Of all the available options, Ingliston or a specialist Citylink Park and Ride service are the quickest and most convenient, but beware to give yourself plenty of time to get to and from the gig as things are guaranteed to be extremely busy.
With so many fans expected to descend on Murrayfield, and with Edinburgh already seeing thousands of holidaymakers and crowds for Fringe, planning out your journey to and home from Oasis is vital to avoid frustrating delays and traffic.

Writing on social media at the time, grieving Murray posted: "You were the most loyal and protective companion our family could have wished for. "You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you. "The house feels empty without you in it. "The noise you made when you wanted a plate to lick, or a biscuit to chew on, or when you wanted anything for that matter, was infuriating at times! "But today we would do anything to hear it again. Love you Ruzz, rest easy poppet x." Fans flooded his Instagram page with messages of support following the tragic news as they expressed their sympathy for him and his family. But this morning, Murray thankfully had some wonderful news to share with his followers as he uploaded pictures of him alongside his new pup.

Lewis Capaldi puts Noel Gallagher feud behind him at Oasis gig with famous pal
The Scots singer was spotted smiling with The View frontman Kyle Falconer. Lewis Capaldi and Noel Gallagher's infamous public feud hit headlines back in 2019 but appears to now be put to bed as Lewis attended the Oasis Live 25 tour in London. The Someone You Loved singer and The View frontman Kyle Falconer were spotted smiling for the camera at Wembley stadium as they waited for Oasis to take to stage at the weekend. Kyle and his wife Laura shared the snaps on Instagram as the doting dad took his young daughter Wylde to see her favourite band. Many fans would be surprised to see Lewis at the gig given his feud with the eldest Gallagher brother, Noel. Their spat first began when Noel said during an interview on Radio X in 2019 that he didn't know who Capaldi was. Despite Lewis' debut album ,Divinely Unexpired to a Hellish Extent, having just peaked at number one in the UK and Ireland, making it the fastest selling album of the year, Noel said: "Music is f***ing w*** at the moment". He then insulted the Glasgow-born star as he said: "Who's this Capaldi fella? Who the f***'s that idiot?" However, in true Capaldi fashion, the Scots singer left fans rolling about laughing as he took to his Instagram stories to celebrate Noel's comments in a sarcastic manner. While watching the interview, he responded: "F***ing c'mon! F***ing peaked – slagged off by Noel Gallagher! "Number 1 single – who gives a f***? Number 1 album – who gives a f***? Noel Gallagher has just slagged me off. This is dreams coming true." Capaldi didn't stop there as he wished Gallagher a happy Father's Day while he filmed himself enjoying Oasis' 2002 hit 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. Noel was quick to hit back with a tweet that poked fun at Capaldi's track Someone You Loved. He captioned the post: "@LewisCapaldi you big daftie. You might wanna try and find some joy in your tunes, you're destroying the 11yr old is in bits." Lewis further tormented the High Flying Birds frontman with a backstage photo beside his then-estranged brother and former Oasis bandmate, Liam Gallagher. A furious Noel referenced Capaldi's stunt in an interview with Variety and took things a step further as he poked fun at Lewis' appearance. He said: "F****** Chewbacca should enjoy his 15 minutes. The greatest day of his life that I slagged him off or called him an idiot. "It's the greatest day of his f****** life so far. He's just thinking 'wow'. "Well, I know you're Scottish and all that but f****** hell. It is like a third world country but for f***'s sake, man, you must have had a better day than this. Surely." Despite their public jibes, Lewis and Noel have met a few times since, with Noel later branding Lewis as a "good lad" despite his previous comments. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
