The home of Scottish rugby has welcomed the likes of Beyoncé, Harry Styles and Bruce Springsteen already this year, with Taylor Swift confirmed for 2024.
They're just the latest globally successful music acts to appear at the venue - but there was a time not so long ago that Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium had never hosted a rock concert.
That all changed 40 years ago on June 28, 1983, when the late David Bowie became the first ever headline act at the famous sporting arena.

With Bowie already considered a living legend, the Murrayfield masses couldn't have asked for a much bigger star to christen the rugby ground as a concert venue.
Murrayfield was the 27th date on Bowie's seven-month-long Serious Moonlight worldwide tour and, despite the driving rain, the Let's Dance frontman was well warmed up for the occasion.
Edinburgh had been battered with torrential rain all throughout the day, but that didn't dampen the spirit of the Bowie faithful, who had snapped up every single one of the 60,000 tickets for the concert at £10 a pop.
The fans spilled on to the waterlogged Murrayfield pitch the moment the turnstiles opened at 2pm - a full six hours before their hero was due to appear on stage.
Support came in the form of Australian rock outfit Icehouse and British pop stars Thompson Twins, but the biggest roar of the evening greeted the arrival of the self-proclaimed Thin White Duke.
Sporting a bleach-blonde hairdo and (blue, blue) electric blue suit, David Bowie, who was looking fitter, healthier and happier than he had done in years, treated his fans to a spectacle that covered every phase in the famously eclectic performer's varied career up to that point.
Past hits such as Heroes, Fame, Fashion and Young Americans went down a storm next to fresh releases Let's Dance, Modern Love and China Girl.
Later into the 90-minute set, during which Bowie and his band rifled through 25 songs, renditions of Space Oddity and Life On Mars provoked a response from the Murrayfield crowd the likes of which is normally reserved for Flower of Scotland and Calcutta Cup-winning tries.
The awful weather conditions had threatened to throw a spanner into the works, but the Edinburgh crowd were having absolutely none of it on what turned out to be a concert for the ages.
Writing in The Guardian, one reviewer summed up the evening perfectly.
"David Bowie's world tour has arrived in Britain," they wrote, "And I went to see him. Not just to listen to the music - which incidentally sounded exactly like it does on record despite its complexity - but to watch a fantasy going on in a fenced-off section of Murrayfield's grounds."
They added: "The music? Oh, the music. You name it - he sang it. No criticism. Simply perfect renditions for a man who is a master of his art. But he's definitely human."
The gig also made a big impression on Colin Davidson of the Aberdeen Evening Express, who wrote: "Almost as a mark of respect, the rain, which had fallen incessantly throughout the day relented.
"There are probably only a handful of acts - names like the Rolling Stones, The Who, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen come to mind - with the drawing power to fill the world's stadia when they feel like it.
"David Bowie is well up on that list - such is his genius."
Prior to the concert, Bowie spoke with the Daily Record's entertainment guru Billy Sloan and expressed his love for Edinburgh - in spite of the rubbish-strewn Water of Leith.
The singer, who was staying at the plush Dragonara Hotel overlooking the Water of Leith at Bell's Mill, said: "Unless the city I am visiting is interesting, I don't go out. I spend most of my time in my hotel.
"But here [in Edinburgh], I took a walk and followed the Water of Leith to Dean Village. That was very attractive.
"I found it very relaxing - but the river was a bit messed up, with a lot of garbage in it. I ended up talking to some anglers who were fishing for trout."
