Taylor Swift is arriving in London this Friday, and the anticipation is real. With a whopping EIGHT concert dates in London, “Miss Americana” is driving the city wild with Tay Tay fever. (And don’t worry – she’s already got a massive order in from her favourite kebab shop!)
While many Swifties were left heartbroken without getting their hands on the (extremely) popular tickets, there is still a glimmer of hope for those becoming fearless and trying to get their hands on some resale tickets.
So, we thought we’d put everything into one place for the Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’ London shows, including show times, bag policy and supporting acts. Are you ready for it?
London tour dates
Taylor Swift will be taking over Wembley Stadium for eight performances this summer. Three of those will take place this month, with a further five nights in August. The full London dates are:
- June 21
- June 22
- June 23
- August 15
- August 16
- August 17
- August 19
- August 20
Resale tickets
Firstly, it’s important to keep it real (and safe, of course) when it comes to resale tickets. Buying resale tickets is not technically allowed, yet some might slip through if the ticket doesn’t get voided upon entry. So, make sure to use sites you trust and check the terms and conditions of the original ticket vendor, as well as accept the risk when buying.
There are still some resale tickets available for London shows. Just be aware that the closer we get to the event, the higher the prices are likely to get.
You can check any of your regular re-sale sites, like Viagogo, but be prepared to part with a pretty sum!
Supporting acts
Taylor Swift has been touring the European leg of the ‘Eras’ tour with Paramore, known for their hits such as Misery Business, CrushCrushCrush and That’s What You Get. For all the millennials out there, what a throw-back, am I right? Those attending the June shows in London will also get extra supporting acts. Mette will be performing on June 21, as well as Griff on June 22 and Benson Boone on June 23.
Show times
Depending on which date you’re attending, doors will open at different times. See below for a detailed guide of opening hours and show start times, according to Wembley’s site. Taylor Swift’s performances will last around three hours each night. Note that show start times are guides, and not set in stone, and Wembley Stadium does not allow overnight camping.

Getting to Wembley Stadium
Those travelling to the concert will want to plan ahead due to the high volume of people attending the shows. The nearest stations to the stadium are Wembley Park Station, Wembley Stadium Station, and Wembley Central Station.
However, there will be some interruptions to travel over the weekend. Trains will not be stopping at Wembley Stadium on June 22 and 23. This is due to engineering works disrupting the service running direct from Euston to Birmingham New Street. To make up for the disruption, Chiltern Railways is running extra trains along the line between Birmingham Moor Street and Marylebone. Due to fears of over-crowding, though, they will not be servicing Wembley Stadium.
Over the weekend, fans are encouraged to travel to the stadium via one of the other two stations near the stadium: Wembley Park Station and Wembley Central Station.
Rail disruption will not impact those travelling to Friday’s (June 21) show.
Bag policy
Wembley Stadium operates a restricted bag policy. That means they do not allow briefcases, bags, luggage, or large purses. Fans can only bring one small bag each, which cannot be larger than A4 size (297mm x 210mm x 210mm).
