Harry Styles announces extra tour date at Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium due to 'overwhelming demand'

Harry Styles has delighted fans after adding an extra date for his Love On Tour show at Edinburgh's BT Murrayfield Stadium.

The Watermelon Sugar singer has released a new set of dates across the UK and Europe, after his successful run of shows in June 2022. The former One Direction star was due to play one night in Edinburgh on May 26 2023, but has added an extra date for Saturday, May 27 due to overwhelming demand.

The Edinburgh gigs will be the 28-year-old singer's only nights in Scotland, with his other UK shows scheduled for London, Cardiff and Coventry. This comes after the Treat People With Kindness hitmaker played 43 shows across the world last year, as well as a performance in Glasgow at Ibrox Stadium.

The singer is already on the road as part of his Love On Tour series and currently in the midst of 15 nights at Madison Square Garden in New York. The dates are in support of his third album, Harry’s House, which has proved both a commercial and critical success among fans and critics.

Many fans took to Twitter to vent their frustrations after tickets for Styles Edinburgh show sold out, but were soon advertised on tout websites for up to £5k. Fans who were in the queue at 9:55am this morning were complaining of 60,000-strong queues, as some lasted up to one hour and ten minutes in cases.

One fan wrote: " @Ticketmaster @LiveNationUK please tell me why I got the end of the Harry Styles Edinburgh queue at 10.11am and didn’t get the choice of buying tickets but to get put to the back of a 63875 length queue" Another ranted: ""Just spent a frustrating 45 mins with my eldest (& 4 PCs!) trying to get Harry Styles pre-sale (not for me!) in Edinburgh…. I hate these online tickets !!"

And a third wrote: "the fact i had 3000 people in front of me for harry styles Edinburgh then got tickets and it said my password was wrong when it wasnt then it timed me out... really just wanna cry aha." Another penned: "Trying to accessible tickets for @Harry_Styles Edinburgh 2023 tour but after being on for over an hour I don’t think they are even available on the presale, will they be available tomorrow on your site? @Ticketmaster "
