Harry Styles Edinburgh Murrayfield tour and travel options from Glasgow

Around 60,000 Harry Styles fans will soon be stepping foot onto the grounds of Murrayfield Stadium to see the singer perform some of his best hits including As It Was and Sign of The Times.

But before you get to the concert, it is key that you make sure you prepare how to get there whether you're travelling via car, tram, train or bus.

Set to take to the stage across two days on May 26 and May 27, fans have now been issued with a warning due to road closures ahead of the gigs.

According to Edinburgh Live, gig-goers are being advised to travel via alternative routes and transport options such as to and from Edinburgh Waverley, Edinburgh Park, or Edinburgh Gateway stations.

Edinburgh Trams also operates a fast and frequent service between the entrance of the stadium and Edinburgh Gateway, Edinburgh Park, and St Andrew Square tram stop.

So with this in mind, how can you get to the gig on time? Here is what you need to know about the road closures and how you can get from Glasgow to Edinburgh.

Harry Styles Edinburgh - road closures

Roads closed after the event include: Roseburn Street, Russell Road, Murrayfield Road, A8 between Haymarket and Western Corner, Westfield Road / WestApproach Road, Rosebery Crescent, Balbirnie Place, and Grosvenor Street.

Residents have also been told that there may be further road closures to deter fans from parking in residential areas.

These road closures will also be implemented for Bruce Springsteen on May 30.

Harry Styles Edinburgh - Glasgow travel options

Car - 55 minutes from the city centre

The car will take you about an hour, however you will want to look up your route before leaving and take into consideration any roadworks as well as the above closures.

Train and tram - 54 minutes from Glasgow Queen Street Station

The best option for many will likely be getting a train from Glasgow Queen Street and getting off at Haymarket. Although some people are being urged to get off at Waverley, this is a much longer walk at around 46 minutes from the station to the stadium.

After getting off at this stop you can then take the tram heading to the city airport, also from Haymarket and about a one minute walk from the station, getting off at the stadium.

This is about a two minute walk from the rugby venue and will drop you off within just minutes.

If you are getting off at Waverley, the tram will take you 19 minutes.

Walking from Haymarket Train Station - 22 minutes

Rather than getting the tram as it could be busy, and to save you money, you can walk from the train station to the stadium in about 20 minutes, according to Google Maps,

Bus from Haymarket Train Station - 16 minutes

If you can't walk or get on the tram, a bus may be a good option at a mere 16 minute ride.

You can grab the following bus numbers to get you to the venue:

  • 26
  • 31
  • 900
  • X24
  • X38
  • 22
  • 30

Edinburgh City Centre is also accessible from BT Murrayfield by a number of Lothian Bus services such as 1, 3, 12, 22, 25, 26, 30, 31 or 33.

Taxi - 7 minutes

You can always get a taxi with the journey - not including any delays - being around seven minutes.
