Edinburgh City Council ask that concertgoers plan ahead

Due to Murrayfield being located in a residential area, Edinburgh City Council have strongly advised those attending Oasis’ Edinburgh shows to plan ahead.

No parking will be available at Murrayfield, while Roseburn Park will remain open to the public and likely very busy.

Fans have also been asked to be mindful of local residents while travelling to and from the venue.
