Everything to know about attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London including new times | HELLO! (2024)

After Taylor Swift canceled her Vienna, Austria shows over security concerns, London's Wembley Stadium has now, understandably, tightened their own details for the final dates of the Eras Tour in Europe.

That means the entry times and start times have now changed, and any fans waiting outside the Stadium for a chance to hear the show and celebrate with other fans will be moved onimmediately. Here is everything you need to know if you are attending one of her Wembley shows in August…

What time should I arrive to Eras Tour?

Wembley has changed the entry times for certain dates,suggesting Taylor may go on stage earlier than expected.

On Thursday 15 August,Monday 19 August, andTuesday 20 August early entry doors will open at 3.30pm and General Admission & Hospitality will open at 4pm, with the show starting at 4.55pm.

Sofia Isella, Maisie Peters and Raye will perform, respectively, on each of those dates as opening acts, before Paramore will take to the stage, and then Taylor herself.

On Friday 16 August and Saturday 17 August, early entry doors will be 3.45pm, General Admission & Hospitality will be 4.15pm and the show will begin at 5.10pm.

Holly Humberstone will open on Friday and Suki Waterhouse on Saturday; Paramore will then once again open for Taylor.

Where can I buy Eras Tour merchandise?

After leaving Wembley Park station and heading towards the stadium, there are plenty of stops for Taylor merchandise along the way, many of which have some pretty impressive queues.

The merchandise megastore is located in Green Car Park and is accessible, open 10am to 7pm on show days and 10am to 8pm on Wednesday 14 August and Sunday 18 August.

But although you might have plenty of time to peruse, a top tip here would be to wait until you're inside the stadium itself, where we snagged our merchandise with zero queues to speak of!

Either way, the stores seemed rammed with stock so don't worry too much about being able to snag your favourite item.

Is there food and drink inside Wembley Stadium?

There are plenty of food and drink stalls, and we chomped down some peri chicken burgers before the show - and I saw plenty of people wandering around with portions of chips, burgers and more. You definitely won't be going hungry!

Same for drinks, there are plenty of bars if you would like an admittedly expensive alcoholic beverage or a soft drink, or in the stadium there are plenty of free water stops with plastic cups to keep yourself hydrated.

What is the bathroom situation at the Eras Tour?

Even in the most heaving parts of the standing area, it is easy enough to skip out of the crowd, go to the bathroom and return to the same place as you were before.

There were occasionally queues for the bathroom, I would say any break would take between 5-10 minutes, so make sure you time it well (I'll admit, I took my opportunity during the Folk-moresegment, sorry Taylor)!

I was in the standing area on both nights, and everyone is respectful of helping you get through the crowds - after all, everyone is going back and forth with bathroom breaks! Just make sure you know how to find your friends again.

When should you leave the Eras Tour?

While staying until the end of the show and seeing the firework show is a total must for some fans - and I totally respect that - I have to say that waiting to get into the tube station with tens of thousands of other people really took the shine off the end of the evening.

On night two, my friend and I left one song before the end - and it saved around 60-90 minutes of wait time to get back onto the London Underground, and I would honestly recommend it, even if it does mean missing Taylor's performance of 'Karma'.

Alternative way to travel to the Eras Tour

Whether you want to arrive in Style (Taylor's Version) or stay for Karma and STILL beat the queues down Wembley Way after the show, a Blacklane ride is both a stylish, safe and reliable way to do it. Blacklane offer door-to-door chauffeured City-to-City rides across the UK and in more than 50 countries. Their first class fleet includes Mercedes-Benz S-Class L, BMW 7 Series L, Audi A8 L or EVs such as Mercedes-Benz EQS, and all rides are carbon offset.

What to wear to the Eras Tour?

Of course, you can wear anything you like at all - and everyone is dressed from everything to the absolute 9s in homemade Taylor outfits to sticking to comfort with jeans and a T-shirt.

There is no pressure to dress up whatsoever. However, if you feel like you'd like to mark the occasion with a costume, fans of Taylor have loved picking one of her 'Eras' for their outfit.

For instance, the Lover era would mean dressing in pastels and rocking face sparkles, while Speak Now is more of a country vibe with cowboy boots, and Reputation is black and silver vibes. See our full Eras tour costume suggestions here!

Can I go to Wembley to listen to the Eras Tour?

No. If you do not have a ticket, do not try to head to the stadium to listen to the show from outside. Security will be tight, and you will not be allowed to stand outside or on the Olympics steps.

Can I take a bag to Wembley Stadium?

Wembley Stadium operates a restricted bag policy.

Only one bag per person can be taken into the stadium, and it must be no bigger than a piece of A4 paper: Height 11.7 inches, Width 8.27 inches andDepth 8.27 inches.

Bag exemptions for medical reasons are allowed, you must contact Wembley before you arrive.

What are the friendship bracelets all about?

Fans love celebrating the fandom by rocking friendship bracelets that many make by hand, and swapping them with one another at the concerts. The bracelets can have anything written on them, but fans tend to go for the names of songs, albums or lyrics. If you don't have time but would like to join in, there are loads of options on Amazon Prime or Etsy.

What songs does Taylor perform on the Eras Tour?

If you'd like a bit of a spoiler, I've got you covered!

The show opens with the Lover era, and Taylor performs "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince', 'Cruel Summer', 'The Man', 'You Need to Calm Down', 'Lover' - before launching in her Fearless era with 'Fearless', 'You Belong with Me', and 'Love Story'.

It then segues into Red, where she performed '22', 'We are Never Ever Getting Back Together', 'I Knew You Were Trouble' and 'All Too Well (10 minute version)'.

The Speak Now era is short and sweet, with Taylor performing 'Enchanted,' before moving onto Reputation, where she performs 'Ready For It?', 'Delicate', 'Don't Blame Me', and 'Look What You Made Me Do'. She then moves into Folkmore and Evermore, where she performed 'Cardigan', 'Betty', 'Champagne Problems', 'August', 'Illicit Affairs', 'My Tears Ricochet', 'Marjorie' and 'Willow'.

Then the tempo is up again with 1989, where she performs 'Style', 'Blank Space', 'Shake It Off', 'Wildest Dreams' and 'Bad Blood', before moving into her new Tortured Poet's Department era, where she performs 'But Daddy I Love Him', 'So High School', 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?', 'Down Bad', 'Fortnight', 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived', and 'I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.'

Before the Midnights era, Taylor performs two surprise songs which are different every night - so get ready for her to mix things up!

To conclude the night, she performs 'Lavender Haze', 'Anti-Hero', 'Midnight Rain', 'Vigilante S***', 'Bejeweled', 'Mastermind' and 'Karma' from Midnights.

Have the most incredible time!
