Taylor Swift's second round of London dates are finally upon us, with the singer set to take to Wembley Stadium for the final of her five August dates tonight.
Treating fans to three hours of some of her best loved hits, Eras Tour songs span her incredible 17-year-long career and all of her 11 albums, from 1989 to Midnights, all the way through to The Tortured Poets Department.
In addition to a packed set of some of her biggest hits, fans will also get to enjoy to a stellar line-up of support acts beforehand too, including Paramore along with an additional extra guest for each UK date. Oh, and did we mention that her first London August date featured a pretty major surprise guest?
While we watched in eager anticipation as the Eras Tour swept the US last year, now it's UK Swifties' time to shine, with Tay Tay having also spread the good vibes across Edinburgh, Liverpool and Cardiff on her way to London.
So if you managed to secure one of these highly coveted tickets, here's everything you need to know ahead of arriving at Wembley for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, from set times to the seating plan to (perhaps most importantly) where the merch stand is.
It's worth bearing in mind that Eras tour timings for August have been brought up to be slightly earlier – here's everything you need to know.

We've been loving Taylor for quite some time, time, time.
What time will Taylor Swift come on stage?
For her June dates, Taylor tended to make it on stage between 19 - 19:30pm, though as August's show start times have shifted to be earlier we'd expect this to be a little sooner, between 18:30 - 19:30pm.
Naturally, you should ensure you arrive in good time to enjoy the full show in all its glory (and buy the iconic grey Eras Tour zip up jumper).
These are estimated times for Taylor to be on stage:
Thursday August 15
- Taylor on stage - 18:40 (estimated)
Friday August 16
- Taylor on stage - 19:00 (estimated)
Saturday August 17
- Taylor on stage - 19:00 (estimated)
Monday August 19
- Taylor on stage - 18:40 (estimated)
Tuesday August 20
- Taylor on stage - 18:40 (estimated)
And below are the full timings for June's show as a point of reference:
Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22
- Show starts: 17:25
- Paramore: 18:15
- Taylor Swift on stage: 19:30
- Surprise songs: 22:10
- Show ends: 22:40
Sunday, June 23
- Show starts: 16:40
- Paramore: 17:45
- Taylor Swift on stage: 19:00
- Surprise songs: 21:40
- Show ends: 22:10
What time will the Taylor Swift concert end?
The Eras Tour shows tend to average three hours and 15 minutes, with some concerts lasting up to three hours and 45 minutes depending on what surprises Tay Tay pulls out on the night.
So depending on when the set begins, on dates where the show starts at 16:55 (August 15, 19, 20), we'd expect it to end between 22:00-22:30, while for dates where the show begins at 17:10 (August 16 and 17) the show should finish between 22:15 and 22:45, give or take.
If you're hoping to avoid the rush and can bear it then we'd advise starting to leave as Karma is ending.

Can I go to Wembley to listen to the Eras Tour?
While you may have seen those magical videos of fans in Munich listening to the Eras Tour from the park, Wembley has advised that for safety reasons and following the Vienna concert cancellations, fans won't be permitted to gather outside the stadium. A statement on the Wembley website reads:
“To support with the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium. Non ticket holders will be moved on.”
Overnight camping is also not permitted.
What's the bag policy for Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium?
Wembley Stadium does not allow any ticket holders to bring bags into the stadium unless they adhere to the venue's regulations, so to avoid being refused entry ensure yours adheres to the venue's regulations.
You're best off bringing a smaller bag where you can as all items will go through a check point and a bag size gauge will be used.
What exactly is a small bag we hear you ask? Basically, ensure your bag is no bigger than an A4 piece of paper and you should be ok. If you want to check ahead of time, exact sizes are:
- Height 297mm (11.7 inches)
- Width 210mm (8.27 inches)
- Depth 210mm (8.27 inches)
Bags that are compressed or folded to made smaller won't be accepted, so pack light!
Who are the support acts?
Paramore and supporting Taylor Swift for all of her UK dates, with fans also being treated to another act which changes for each tour date.
- Thursday, August 15 - Paramore and Sophie Isella
- Friday, August 16 - Paramore and Holly Humberstone
- Saturday, August 17 - Paramore and Suki Waterhouse
- Monday, August 19 - Paramore and Maisie Peters
- Tuesday, August 20 - Paramore and RAYE

Will there be any Taylor Swift surprise guests?
Swift delighted fans at her August 15 show when she brought out pal Ed Sheeran as a surprise guest! Sheeran joined Taylor to perform a medley of their collab ‘Everything Has Changed’ and ‘End Game’, with Ed also performing his solo single ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
Will other Swifties be so lucky for the remaining London dates? We hope so!

Can you still get Taylor Swift Wembley tickets?
In a shock to literally no one, all of Swift's tickets have now sold out so finding a last minute ticket is unlikely given the huge demand.
Will there be Taylor Swift merch?
Of course!
The best part is that even if you missed out on a ticket to the concert, you'll still be able to stock up on some merch.
If you're want to get ahead of the game, here's exactly where to head so you can get suited ahead of Tay Tay hitting the stage, as per Wembley's Instagram:
