Rock legends the Eagles are set to take centre stage in the capital performing at Murrayfield stadium this week.
The iconic band is behind huge hits including Hotel California and and Desperado.
However while fans may be excited to head to the venue to watch the live gig, they have been issued with a warning by Scotrail and Police Scotland.

It comes as train strikes across the country have seen services being reduced or cancelled altogether. Scotrail has urged people to leave in plenty of time and to consider their options for getting home.
In a tweet they said: "If you're going to the Eagles concert at @BTMurrayfield on Wednesday 23rd, please plan your journey in advance. Services will be disrupted following today’s strike action by Network Rail members of RMT, due to signal boxes across the country opening at different times.
"We're urging customers to check their entire journey and consider their travel options when heading home, as there will be a limited number of trains departing Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket after the event finishes at 10.30pm due to the temporary timetable.
"Queuing systems may be in place at key stations prior to the concert, and at Haymarket after the event. To reduce the need to queue on the day, customers are encouraged to buy their ticket to Haymarket in advance via the mTicket system on the ScotRail app."
Edinburgh Police also later tweeted about local bus diversions which can be found here.
Services after the concert will be limited and compromise of the following:
- 22:46 Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street (22:50 from Haymarket)
- 23:00 Edinburgh Waverley to Kirkcaldy (23:04 from Haymarket)
- 23:14 Edinburgh Waverley to North Berwick
- 23:18 Edinburgh Waverley to Dunfermline Town (23:22 from Haymarket)
- 23:30 Edinburgh Waverley to Stirling (23:34 from Haymarket)
- 23:46 Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street (23:50 from Haymarket)
Thursday, June 23 will also see widespread disruption due to a second day of strike action by Network Rail RMT members.
This means customers who have stayed overnight in Edinburgh after the concert will have their journeys severely impacted, with ScotRail only operating services on five routes across Scotland between the hours of 07.30 and 18.30.
These routes are:
- Edinburgh – Glasgow via Falkirk High: two trains per hour
- Edinburgh – Bathgate: two trains per hour
- Glasgow – Hamilton/Larkhall: two trains per hour
- Glasgow – Lanark: two trains per hour
- Edinburgh – Glasgow via Shotts: one train per hour
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “We’re doing what we can to help music fans travel to see Eagles perform at Murrayfield on Wednesday night, but customers should plan ahead as services will be impacted by the Network Rail RMT strike action, and by the temporary timetable we currently have in place.
“The gates at Murrayfield open from 5pm, so I’d encourage customers to travel to the stadium early if they can and allow plenty time for their journey as services will be busy.
“After the concert ends, we’ll have a very limited number of trains departing from Haymarket and Edinburgh Waverley, and space on board is limited, so I’d urge customers to plan ahead and know their travel options.
“Those who stay overnight in Edinburgh after the concert should be aware that further Network Rail RMT strike action will severely impact services across the country on Thursday, 23 June.”
