It’s been a long time coming. After playing a starring role in her music video for ‘I Can See You’ last summer, Liverpool is finally welcoming Miss Taylor Swift back to Scouseland. Following several astonishing shows in Edinburgh last week, it’s Liverpool’s turn this weekend. Yep, this weekend! In fact, the Liverpool leg of her Eras Tour is already underway.
And Liverpool is really getting into the spirit of things. As well as the spectacular show itself, the city is transforming into ‘Taylor Town’ with Swift-themed workshops, art installations and academic talks. So even if you missed out on those elusive tickets, you can still immerse yourself in all things Swift (beyond, of course, buying merch – which you can still do without a ticket).
Did manage to score Anfield tickets? Congrats! Here are all the deets you need to know for the Eras Tour in Liverpool.

When is Taylor Swift’s Eras tour in Liverpool?
She’ll be making the whole of Anfield Stadium shimmer for three nights on June 13, 14 and 15.
What time will Taylor Swift come on stage?
There’s no exact info on what time Taylor will appear on stage. Doors will open at 4pm, but unless you’re standing and want to sprint for a spot at the front, you don’t really need to be there that early (it should also be noted that Anfield has warned fans not to camp outside the stadium ahead of doors opening).
For her first Liverpool show, Taylor came on at 7.45pm, a little later than her shows in Edinburgh last week.
Are there any tickets left?
That’s a delicate subject. Sadly, tickets sold out faster than you can say ‘speak now’. But if you’re not ready to give up just yet, keep an eye on Stubhub for anyone reselling their tickets last minute.
Tickets for the Eras Tour at Anfield started at £57.90 for a partially obstructed seated ticket, all the way up to £182.75. For those who splashed out on VIP, packages ranged from £221.65 to an eye-watering £661.65.
What’s the full setlist for the Eras Tour?
If you’ve somehow managed to avoid any spoilers as to what the Eras Tour actually looks like and what songs Taylor will be playing, look away right now if you want to keep it that way.

Who will be supporting Taylor in Liverpool?
Taylor is being joined by pop-punk icons Paramore. 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?
Anfield is operating a ‘no-bag policy’ for all three nights, with the exception of clear plastic bags if you’ve bought merch and bags smaller than A5 size.
Obviously, stuff like knives, drones, lasers, fireworks and flares won’t be allowed. On top of that the stadium has banned:
- Bags and suitcases (except as specified)
- Umbrellas
- Drink cartons, cans, bottles over 500ml, glass bottles and drinking glasses
- Alcohol
- Baby buggies/prams
- Laptops/tablets
- Video equipment and large-bodied cameras
- Tools
You will be allowed clear 500ml water bottles and bottles of hand sanitiser up to 50ml.
The Anfield stadium seating plan
Here’s the seating map for Anfield stadium, according to Ticketmaster
You can find out more about Anfield’s seating map, capacity and best seats on Time Out here.
What time does the concert end?
Anfield’s curfew will be 11pm, though if everything goes smoothly the gig should finish at around 10.45pm.
What were the surprise songs?
At Taylor’s first gig at Anfield on June 13, her surprise songs were ‘I Can See You/Mine’ and ‘Cornelia Street/Maroon’. The former is significant because she shot the music video for ‘I Can See You’ in Liverpool.
Where else is Taylor Swift playing in the UK?
Tay arrives in Liverpool hot off the back of her shows in Edinburgh (more about those here). After that, she’ll head to Cardiff Principality Stadium for one night, then London Wembley for three, from June 21 to 23.
She’ll then come back to London for a six-night stint in August, marking an end to the Eras Tour in Europe.
