Taylor Swift adds new Dublin concert and announces major band as support act for Eras Tour

Taylor Swift has delighted fans by adding a third concert date for Dublin next summer.

The US superstar announced last month she would be bringing her record-breaking Eras Tour to the Aviva Stadium on Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29.

In an update today, the 33-year-old confirmed 14 new shows across Europe, including a third Dublin date on Sunday, June 30.

The surprises didn’t end there though, as the All Too Well hitmaker also named a new special guest.

Sabrina Carpenter was already confirmed to be a special guest on the European leg of the Eras Tour, but now Paramore has also been added to the line-up.

Taking to social media, Taylor said: “Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour. And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore !! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”

It comes as fans across Ireland are eagerly awaiting confirmation on whether or not they will get the opportunity to buy tickets.

Ticketmaster Ireland confirmed that tickets will not be going on general sale.

Fans were asked to register in advance if they wanted a chance of buying tickets, and that registration window ended at midnight on Friday, June 23.

The registration helps prevent ticket reselling and aims to give real fans a fair chance. However, registering doesn't guarantee a ticket.

Only a limited number of fans will get an access code to the sale. Anyone not selected initially, will be put on a waitlist and might receive an invitation if more tickets become available.

Anyone who registered will receive an email today, July 5, confirming whether they will get access to the sale, or have been put on the waitlist.

No official time has been given for when the email will arrive but fans online have speculated it will be throughout the afternoon and evening, based on other country's experiences.

Here's the timeline of what to expect over the coming days.

Wednesday, July 5

July 5 marks an important date for fans hoping to buy tickets to the Eras Tour.

All registrants will receive an email letting them know if they were selected for the on-sale or placed on the waitlist.
