Beyoncé lands in Edinburgh ahead of huge Murrayfield gig for Renaissance world tour

Beyoncé has confirmed that she has landed in Edinburgh ahead of her huge concert at Murrayfield.

Taking to Instagram, Beyoncé has changed her bio with a location pin with 'Edinburgh, UK' written next to it, confirming Queen Bey is in the capital.

This comes hours before she is set to take to the stage at Murrayfield Stadium as part of her huge Renaissance world tour.

A staggering 60,000 fans are expected to descend on the stadium and many have already started queuing. Some even camped the night before to ensure they get right to the front of the Golden Circle and be as close as possible to the Break My Soul singer.

Fans queueing have been reminded that Murrayfield is a residential area and are told to be respectful to the neighbours. ScotRail has also issued a travel warning to those heading by train.

The train operator warns that due to ongoing redevelopment work on a building - which is not owned or managed by ScotRail - next to Haymarket station, queuing capacity within the station has been reduced by more than half.

With this, 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. The train operator will be adding extra carriages through the day and extra trains before and after the gig.

The concert is due to start at 6:30pm, however, gates at the stadium will be open from 4.30pm, so fans are encouraged to get to the venue early as trains will be very busy.

Road closures will be put in place before the event at around 12pm Saturday until 12.30am, Sunday.

The roads included are; Roseburn Street, Russell Road, the A8 corridor between Haymarket and Western Corner, and Murrayfield Road.

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.
