How do I get down the front at Chappell Roan’s Edinburgh Summer Sessions gigs?

The concerts have a front section which is filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Those fans who arrive early enough are given a wristband which allows them to come and go freely. You need to head straight to the entrance to the front pen (on the left hand side, as you look at the stage) when you get into the gig to get your wristband. On Tuesday it was full by around 6pm, so make sure you get there early.

How long does it take to get into the venue for Chappell Roan’s Edinburgh Summer Sessions gigs?

At 6pm there were little in the way of queues. If you arrive at peak entry times, between 7pm and 8pm, allow at least 30 minutes to get in.

How far is the Chappell Roan concert from the tram stop?

The easiest way to get to the concert from Edinburgh city centre is to take a tram, but be warned that the concert is around a 20 minute walk from the Ingliston Park & Ride stop - although it is clearly signposted. There are courtesy buses available, but expect to queue. If you are able, it’s probably faster to walk.

How easy is it to get back to Edinburgh City Centre after the Chappell Roan gig?

There are plenty of buses and trams to take you back into town after the gig. If you make a hasty exit it’s pretty simple to quickly catch one. Be aware though, that if you stay until the very end of the concert before starting to make your way to the exit, you will need to queue for a while before getting public transport. There are stewards and queuing systems in place to make it as fair and organised as possible.
