Harry Styles in Edinburgh: All the road closures and travel advice for One Direction singer’s Murrayfield gigs

The Brit Award-guzzling singer is coming the Capital and, as you would expect, there will be some disruption to traffic

Harry Styles is returning to Edinburgh this weekend, and excitement is growing ahead of the former One Direction singer’s two massive sell-out gig at BT Murrayfield Stadium.

The double-header of shows, on Friday and Saturday (26 & 27 May) will be the 29-year-old superstar's only nights in Scotland, as he heads north in support of his third album, Harry’s House, which has proved both a commercial and critical success.
