According to a VNA reporter in London, the Wembley Stadium management board has just announced that in addition to those with tickets to see singer Taylor Swift’s performance, fans without tickets will not be allowed to gather outside the stadium to listen and sing along as before.
Fans gathering outside concert venues to “watch” has become part of the American superstar’s world tour The Eras Tour.
However, amid heightened security following a terror plot linked to Taylor Swift’s shows in Vienna, UK tour organisers said that to ensure safe access for everyone in the stadium, ticketless people would not be allowed to stand outside the entrances or congregate on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium.
In addition, overnight camping outside stadiums in London will also be banned.
According to plan, Taylor Swift will have 5 shows at Wembley Stadium, starting from August 15, before ending her tour in Europe.
Previously, also at this stadium, the American female singer held 3 concerts last June.
With 5 nights of this tour, in addition to the main supporting artist Paramore, each night will have mainly British singers performing with Taylor Swift including Holly Humberstone, Suki Waterhouse, Maisie Peters, Raye along with American violinist Sofia Isella.
After the UK tour, Taylor Swift will take a month off before returning for the final leg of the North American leg and ending The Eras Tour in Vancouver, Canada on December 8.
The Eras Tour is the sixth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The tour began on March 17, 2017 in Glendale, Arizona, USA, and included 149 shows across five continents.
The Eras Tour is estimated to gross around $2 billion, double the previous record of British singer Elton John with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour that ended in July last year, grossing $939 million./.
Austrian authorities say they have arrested two suspects in connection with a plot to attack concerts during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
