This week, for one night and one night only, the Eras Tour is landing in Wales. After months and months of FOMO for us Brits, Taylor Swift has finally commenced the UK leg of her massive world tour. Her Cardiff show will be her first Welsh date in six years. 

The Eras Tour is a mammoth, glittering 3-hour show that visits all of Taylor’s most loved songs from almost 20 years of her career. Of course, if you’re reading this, you probably already know that. The UK leg of the tour is already underway, with Swift having dazzled thousands of fans in Edinburgh and Liverpool

Next up is Cardiff. Planning on heading to the Principality Stadium sporting stacks of friendship bracelets and a brand new dress? Below is absolutely everything you need to know.

When is Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in Cardiff?

Taylor will be gracing the Welsh capital with her presence tomorrow (yep, tomorrow!) on Tuesday, June 18

What time will Taylor Swift come on stage?

While on her Europe shows Taylor came on stage at around 8pm, she appeared earlier at Edinburgh. She took to the stage between 7.15pm an 7.20pm. In Liverpool, however, one show started at around 7.45pm, while two kicked-off at 7.25pm. 

In other words, get down to the Principality for 7.15pm latest in order to avoid missing any of Taylor’s set. 

Doors for the stadium will open at 4pm. 

Are there any tickets left?

Your only hope now is tickets on resale – that’s very risky business, though. AXS and Ticketmaster, the official Eras ticket sellers have strongly advised against buying secondhand tickets from unverified sources and warned that they may not be accepted. 

Still, keep an eye out on Stubhub for anyone giving up their ticket last minute.

How much did tickets cost?

Prices began at £86 and went all the way up to £661 for the most expensive VIP package.

Who will be supporting Taylor in Cardiff?

Just like the rest of the Eras Tour in Europe, Taylor will be supported by pop-punk band Paramore, led by her close friend Hayley Williams. Make sure you get to the stadium in time to hear them play classics including ‘Hard Times’, ‘Still Into You’ and ‘Ain't It Fun’. They'll take to the stage around 7pm. 

Are there any banned items?

Fans can only bring in small bags, no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm. Besides the obvious (knives, blades, flares, lasers, pyrotechnics or anything else that could be seen as a weapon or start a fire), you won’t be allowed to bring in musical instruments, cans, banners, large umbrellas, bottles, glasses or airhorns.
