For the Zach Bryan concert on Sunday 14 June, the usual maps and closures info are here:
For on-the-day contact and other details, Scottish Rugby write:
Zach Bryan (Sunday 14 June) and Luke Combs (Friday 24 and Saturday 25 July) concerts to be staged at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, as well as the Fiji v Scotland international to be played on Saturday 18 July.
The build-up to the concert involves various items, from the initial pitch covering, through to rehearsals and the concert itself.
It is worth noting that from now until 13 June, there will be activity around the campus by way of a concert build, but this is expected to be minimal. De-rig then takes place after the show on Sunday through to Thursday 18 June.
All concerts have a noise curfew of 10:45pm, which means that by that time, the acts will definitively be off stage and, in line with the premises licence, the concert must be finished by 11pm. There will be an approximately 90-second burst of pyrotechnics at the end of the show; the only such display during the show. Note that for stadium egress, floodlights will remain on to ensure safe departure of concert-goers and staff/contractors.
Road Closures
As is the norm with any major event, some roads will be subject to closure during key times, in order to protect both concert-goers and the local community. These include soft closures that are staffed and will allow residents access to their properties, only when it is safe to do so. To access the Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) for the Zach Bryan concert, you can visit this link which is now live: https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/download/16145/roadworks-and-events-list
Roads will only be closed for the minimum time necessary.
Lothian Buses
There is a Lothian Buses online page which has a link to their service updates, showing in live time any bus diversions in place - we would encourage everyone to check this in advance of travel to stay fully up to date with the latest service information: https://www.lothianbuses.com/news/2026/06/zach-bryan/
Use of Roseburn Park
Temporary queuing lanes will be installed on the area closest to Murrayfield Ice Arena, to accommodate ticket holders heading to the front standing area during the show, and these barriers will be cleared after initial crowd ingress. Additional toilet facilities will be installed also, for use by these fans and anyone else passing through the area. We will also provide additional Portaloos on the approach to/from the Haymarket area to/from Scottish Gas Murrayfield, as well as the A8 coach parking at Ellersly Road junction for those disembarking coaches in this area.
Feedback
Should you have any issues on event days, you can email through the normal channel. The below feedback form will be live on the day of the concert itself, and will be monitored from 1pm until midnight. You can access it via this link: https://ask.scottishrugby.org/hc/en-gb/requests/new?ticket_form_id=12353436990492
In addition, the Residents Hotline (Tel: 0131 346 5225) will be active during the same times on concert days. You can call us with any issues you encounter and we will direct your query to the appropriate authority in the stadium’s Control Room. If you have any issues/concerns, please contact us on the day. And of course, in a genuine emergency, you should always call 999 or 101 for a police non-emergency.
A WhatsApp channel through which we deliver real-time information on road closures, in particular the A8 corridor, will also be active and you can add yourself to the group by visiting this link: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vaa5ttmHwXbKVA2Drz29 [see also QR code at the bottom of this page]
