Taylor Swift hasn’t played a show in Scotland in nearly 10 years. Since then, for Scottish Swifties, the drought has in fact been ‘the very worst’, but it will soon be over. Taylor Swift is coming to Edinburgh this very week – yep, this week!
On Friday June 7, Taylor will return to Scotland for three nights in Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh. Everything has changed since we last saw her, and after decade of waiting, six brand new albums, four re-records, and multiple Grammies, it has well and truly been a long time coming.
Planning on heading to one of T-Swizzle’s Edinburgh shows? You’ll be able to start your Taylor fest early, as official merch will be available from Wednesday. As for the rest? From set times and seating plans to ticket availability, here’s everything you could possibly need to know to make the most of your Eras experience, all in one place.

When is Taylor Swift's Eras tour in Edinburgh?
Taylor will be playing at Murrayfield on Friday June 7, Saturday June 8 and Sunday June 9.
What time will Taylor Swift come on stage?
There’s a lot of music to get through, which means this is a pretty long show – Taylor has to start earlier than most artists do to fit almost all her Eras in (sorry debut, you didn’t deserve to be end up on the outside).
Doors for non-VIP ticket holders will open at 4.30pm, but unless you’re willing to take part in the great war to get to the front of the standing areas, there’s no need to show up then. The support act will start at 6:15pm, and Taylor will take to the stage around 7:30pm, finishing up just after 10:30pm.
How much did tickets cost?
Legend has it that some tickets right at the back of the stadium cost as little as £49.50, however most people paid somewhere between £80-£160.
Some VIP tickets were as much as £660. Nothing is more fearless than coughing up an entire month’s rent for Taylor; we hope that she plays your fave as a surprise song so that the cash was all worth it.
Are there any tickets left?
There’s no easy way to tell you this, but tickets sold out within a matter of minutes of being released. You had to have a code, some people never got one, it was a whole, very dramatic thing.
Hope isn’t lost though. Some people will be reselling their tickets right up until doors open, so keep refreshing your Ticketmaster hoping to be the lucky one. Unfortunately, at this point word of mouth is probably your best bet for snagging some last minute tix, so ask your friends, your colleagues, your dog walker’s mum. Maybe someone’s now got a wedding on the day, or they didn’t like the Tortured Poet's Department and are refusing to go in protest.

Who will be supporting Taylor in Edinburgh?
Pop-punk icons Paramore are supporting Taylor on the European leg of her tour. The band’s lead singer, Hayley Williams, has been friends with Taylor since they were both up and coming in the late 2000s, and they even collaborated on the vault track ‘Castles Crumbling’ for Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
Are there any banned items?
Aside from the obvious (knives, illicit drugs and explosives are not welcome at the Eras tour), you’ll need to make sure any bags you want to bring in are smaller than A4 size. Metal or glass water bottles are also not allowed, but you will likely need water throughout the evening, so do bring an empty soft plastic bottle which you’ll be able to refill for free.

Where else is Taylor Swift playing in the UK?
After Edinburgh Taylor is heading south past her beloved lakes, all the way to Liverpool from June 13-16, then to Cardiff for one night only on June 18. After that she’ll play three nights in London from June 21-23 before saying so long once and for all. Except for when she returns this August, for an impressive five-night run at Wembley between August 15-20.
Swift will also be greeting our neighbours on the Emerald Isle for three shows in Dublin from June 28-30. Long story short, she’ll be making the UK and Ireland shimmer for a total of 18 nights between June and August. Find a full list of UK dates here.
How do I get to Murrayfield Stadium?
The stadium is in a residential area, but it doesn’t require a treacherous journey to get to. If you’ve got comfy shoes on you can walk from Princes Street (around 40 mins from central Edinburgh), but it’s also accessible by bus and tram. For exact info, including which bus to get depending on where you’re coming from, head over to the stadium’s website here.
