Edinburgh's Meadowbank Stadium

[Lemon Curd]

Hi,
Has anyone attended a gig at the Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh before? I'm looking to go in August and just wondered what views etc are like. Also, what about transport links between Edinburgh and Glasgow late at night?

Thanks

Hello

I have attended a few gigs there last summer (muse, snow patrol and radiohead) and they were excellent. It is wicked as a venue, has a really god festival type feel, and the bar is massive so you dont have to wait long. There are food trucks and things around too.
The portaloos arent the best, but they never are at outdoor events! the plus side is that you get the full benefit of the august weather, and being outdoors, you can smoke!

The transport between Edinburgh and Glasgow is great.. until about 11.30pm, which is when the last train runs. There are buses up until (i think) around 1am. There is plenty of cheap accomodation in Edinburgh, but if you did want to stay, i'd recommend booking soon as it can be VERY hrd to get something during the festival.

Meadowbank is about 15 minutes walk from the train and bus stations, and is 5 minutes by bus from the stations as well. There are loads of buses from the town to Meadowbank.

Hope this is useful. What gig is it?

Hi L,

Thanks for your answer, it's one of the few places i've never been to.

I'm going to see the Foo Fighters so here's hoping it's a good one. I saw them in Manchester last summer and it was also outdoors and had a great festival feel to it. Jealous that you seen Radiohead though!

Thanks again
