The stadium also serves as a large-capacity venue for concerts.
In 2000, the stadium hosted the Edinburgh Military Tattoo - the first time the event was held outside Edinburgh, Scotland. During a cricket match, film director Peter Jackson recorded 30,000 fans chanting for a battle scene for his film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
