There is a strict no camping or early queueing rule. Gardaí will be paroling the area to make sure that there is no early queueing. So just there when the doors open!
When will Taylor be on stage?
Taylor plays for a whopping three and a half hours on her Eras Tour.
So she gets on stage at a fairly early 8pm.
Who will be supporting her?
She will be joined by American pop punk band, Paramore.
They will be on stage at 6pm and are set to play for about 45 minutes.
Are there tickets still available?
Oh definitely not. If you missed The Great War of 2023, then you may not be aware that tickets were the most coveted thing in the world.
But there may be presale tickets on Ticketmaster if you’re very lucky!
How can you get to the Aviva?
Organisers are advising concert-goers to account an extra two hours into their journey time to and from the Aviva.
As traffic and parking delays are inevitable you are strongly encouraged to walk, bike, use public transportation or carpool.
