EVERYTHING you need to know ahead of Taylor Swift’s Croke Park gigs

She's in Dublin this Friday and Saturday

With Taylor Swift’s concerts only days away – we have a list of everything you need to know.

Taylor will play Croke Park this coming Friday and Saturday, with Camila Cabello and Charli XCX as her support acts.

A few tickets are left for both nights, and prices range from €74.50 to €144.00, depending on the seats.

But if you’re one of the lucky few who have already nabbed a ticket to the concert, then we have you covered.

Stage Times

As Croke Park is in a residential area, people have been advised not to queue too early for the concert and be respectful of nearby residents.

Gates open at 5pm, but the first performance doesn’t kick off until 6:45pm.

Charli XCX will be the first performer, and then at 7.25pm Camila Cabello will be on.

Camila will perform until Taylor comes on stage at 8:15pm. Taylor’s performance is set to last just over two hours with a curfew set for 11pm.
