Dates for Taylor Swift in Sweden in 2024 – when will she arrive?
Boom. Finally for all “Swifties”, soon Taylor Swift will come to Sweden and Europe. The dates that apply are:
Friday 17 May
Saturday 18 May
Sunday 19 May
All gigs take place at the Friends arena in Stockholm.
Tickets – being able to resell tickets
The tickets have been sold out for a long time. The capacity at Friends arena for this type of gig is 65,000 in the audience.
According to Ticketmaster’s contract terms, the Taylor Swift concert tickets can only be resold via their own resale site, where they also charge a commission. People who bought their tickets via, for example, Blocket, Viagogo or the Facebook marketplace can therefore be refused entry.
According to Ticketmaster, every buyer, whose name is on the ticket, must be able to prove their identity with ID when entering.
“You who have made the purchase of tickets will have your name on all mobile tickets. This means that you as a ticket buyer must be present at the arena for the entire party to enter, and that everyone should enter at the same time,” writes Ticketmaster.
What time does the concert start each night?
The banded concert experience begins at 6:15 p.m., while Taylor Swift is expected to perform between 7:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., each night.
Bag ban
Since last autumn, there has been a bag ban at major events in Sweden. This includes Taylor Swift’s concerts at the Friends arena. This means that you are not allowed to bring your bag into the arena.
“Exceptions may be made for people who, for medical reasons, need to bring a bag into the public event or public gathering, as well as for people with children who need a diaper bag,” the police write on their website.
If you have a bag with you that you cannot leave, you may be refused entry at the door and not be allowed to enter the arena.
Then you go to the Friends arena
Friends arena is located in Solna. The best way to get there from central Stockholm is via the commuter train line towards Uppsala/Märsta, and you have the advantage of standing at the front of the train. After that, it’s a nice walk of about ten minutes around or through the Mall of Scandinavia.
Another transport option is to take the subway. Then you should take the blue line towards Akalla and get off at the station Solna centrum, from there it is a walk of about 1.7 kilometers to the arena, or the station after it, Näckrosen. From there it is a 1.4 kilometer walk.
What are the connections to Taylor Swift?
During the gigs at the Friends arena in Stockholm, the rock band Paramore acts as support.
Tour schedule – which cities is Taylor Swift playing in?
Stockholm will be Taylor Swift’s second European stop on the tour. The Era’s tour starts in Paris the weekend before and then continues via Stockholm to Portugal and Lisbon.
After that, there will be gigs in Madrid, Lyon, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Zurich, Milan, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Munich, Warsaw, Vienna and London, which will conclude the European part of the tour.
