The Boss will soon be stepping on the stage at Murrayfield Stadium as part of his huge world tour.

The 73-year-old and the E Street Band will be playing to tens of thousands on Tuesday, May 30 as some fans started to queue the night before.

With this, train operator ScotRail has warned gig-goers taking the train to expect services and the venue to be very busy.

To help with the crowds, ScotRail will be adding extra carriages wherever possible throughout the day on routes in and out of Edinburgh Waverley, with extra trains planned heading to Fife and Glasgow after the concert.

Gates at the stadium will be open from 4.30pm as the train operator is encouraging fans to get to the venue early.

At the end of the gig, fans planning on taking the train home are being advised to walk, if they can, back to the station quickly to join the holding area on Haymarket Terrarce, where staff will then direct them to the appropriate queue.

ScotRail adds: "If you're travelling from Fife, you may wish to consider using Edinburgh Gateway station for travel to and from the concert. Edinburgh Trams operate fast and frequent connections between the entrance of BT Murrayfield and the station.
