According to Edinburgh Live, gig-goers are being advised to travel via alternative routes and transport options such as to and from Edinburgh Waverley, Edinburgh Park, or Edinburgh Gateway stations.
Scotrail will be adding extra carriages through the day and extra trains before and after the gig.
The concert is due to start at 6.30pm, however gates at the stadium will be open from 4.30pm with fans encouraged to get to the venue early due to busy trains.
Edinburgh Trams also operates a fast and frequent service between the entrance of the stadium and Edinburgh Gateway, Edinburgh Park, and St Andrew Square tram stop.
So with this in mind, how can you get to the gig on time? Here is what you need to know about the road closures and how you can get from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
Edinburgh Beyonce - train warning
Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “We're doing what we can to help music fans travel to see Beyonce perform at BT Murrayfield on Saturday and I am delighted we have been able to add more seats and some extra trains.
“The gates at the stadium open from 4.30pm, so I'd encourage customers to travel to the stadium early if they can and allow plenty time for their journey as services will be busy.
“After the concert, customers should make their way to Edinburgh Gateway, Edinburgh Park, or Edinburgh Waverley to catch their train home as there will be limited access to Haymarket station due to the redevelopment work on an adjacent building, which is not owned or operated by ScotRail.”
Edinburgh Beyonce - road closures
Beyoncé's show-stopping gig kicks off at 6.30pm on Saturday and road closures will be put in place before the event at around 12pm until 12.30am on Sunday as thousands of fans decent on the stadium.
Roads closed after the event include: Roseburn Street, Russell Road, Murrayfield Road, A8 between Haymarket and Western Corner, Westfield Road / WestApproach Road, Rosebery Crescent, Balbirnie Place, and Grosvenor Street.
Residents have also been told that there may be further road closures to deter fans from parking in residential areas.
These road closures will also be implemented for Harry Styles' concert on May 26 and 27, and Bruce Springsteen on May 30.
Edinburgh Beyonce - Glasgow travel options
Car - 55 minutes from the city centre
The car will take you about an hour, however you will want to look up your route before leaving and take into consideration any roadworks as well as the above closures.
Train and tram - 54 minutes from Glasgow Queen Street Station
The best option for many will likely be getting a train from Glasgow Queen Street and getting off at Haymarket - although some people are being urged to get off at Waverley although this is a much longer walk at around 46 minutes from the station to the stadium.
After getting off at this stop you can then take the tram heading to the city airport, also from Haymarket and about a one minute walk from the station, getting off at the stadium.
This is about a two minute walk from the rugby venue and will drop you off within just minutes.
If you are getting off at Waverley, the tram will take you 19 minutes.
According to BritishTramsOnline, Trams will be running up to every 3 minutes before and after the concert which forms part of Beyonce’s first sole headline tour in seven years.
Lea Harrison, Edinburgh Trams Managing Director, said: “As thousands of people flock to the city to enjoy a highly anticipated stop on Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, we want to ensure concert goers have the very best experience getting to and from the venue. As well as offering a hassle-free to the Murrayfield stop for fans travelling from the city centre or the airport, we can also help anyone driving from outside Edinburgh to avoid the risk of being stuck in traffic. Thanks to plenty of free spaces at our Ingliston Park and Ride facility they can easily park up and complete their journey by tram.”

Rather than getting the tram as it could be busy, and to save you money, you can walk from the train station to the stadium in about 20 minutes, according to Google Maps,
Bus from Haymarket Train Station - 16 minutes
