Muse will perform on Friday, June 23, followed by Arctic Monkeys on Sunday, June 25 before Guns N' Roses take to the stage on Tuesday, June 27.
ScotRail has announced it is adding extra carriages to a number of trains on the Paisley Canal route as well as additional shuttle services between Dumbreck and Glasgow Central to help concertgoers travelling to the gigs.

From 10pm on Friday, June 23 and Tuesday, June 27, buses will replace trains between Glasgow Central and Paisley Canal, calling at all stations except Cokerhill due to road restrictions.
This will allow special train services to run between Dumbreck and Glasgow Central only to get fans home after the shows.
Customers travelling to and from Cokerhill are advised to use Mosspark station instead.
No buses will be in operation after the Artic Monkeys' gig on Sunday, June 25 due to services on the Paisley Canal route winding down from 6pm on Sundays.
Concertgoers are being urged to allow additional time for their journeys as they may not be able to board the first train they go for.
A queuing system will be in place at Dumbreck station.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail head of customer operations, said: "There are some really popular acts performing at Bellahouston Park over the next few days, and we’re really looking forward to helping music lovers travel to see their favourite bands.
"We’re adding lots of extra services for each of the concerts and thousands of extra seats, but trains will still be very busy, so people should plan their journeys in advance.
"Buying a return ticket to Dumbreck in advance via the ScotRail app will help make your journey run smoothly.
"We’d ask anyone travelling home by train to be mindful of our neighbours when you’re making your way back to the station."
