With Taylor Swift already having announced international legs of her Eras Tour that will keep her busy for most of 2024, it would have seemed like she was long done adding any extra dates to the U.S. tour that wraps up in just over six weeks. But she is working in a single additional show after all, at the L.A. area’s SoFi Stadium, extending what was a five-night stand at that massive venue to six concerts.
The added date is Aug. 7, two nights before her North American tour comes to an official climax at the stadium on Aug. 9.
Eight additional shows for the European leg of the tour next year have also been announced, with added dates in London, Paris, Stockholm, Zurich, Hamburg, Munich, Warsaw and Vienna.
As before, her SoFi Stadium run will begin Aug. 3, but now she will have three nights on, with one night off, before she concludes the engagement with another three successive shows, rather than taking off two nights in the middle. The concerts are Aug. 3-5 and 7-9.
However, if you are a Swiftie-come-lately just now thinking this may be your shot at getting in on the Eras Tour phenomenon, this will probably not be your moment to jump on the bandwagon. The offer to buy seats for the Aug. 7 show is only going out to potential ticketbuyers who were already waitlisted for the SoFi Stadium shows when they went on sale in late 2022.
The news of the additional show arrived in the form of an email that was sent out by Ticketmaster Tuesday morning to fans who had registered with Verified Fan last year and signed up for the TaylorSwiftTix Presale. The new SoFi date also showed up on her official tour page.
The news did not leave fans who are preregistered a lot of time to gear up to get in the queue. The Ticketmaster alert to fans said the tickets go on sale this morning at 10 a.m. PT, less than two hours after word about the show got out.
Originally, tickets had only gone on sale for the Aug. 3-5 shows, and then the extra Aug. 8-9 concerts were put on sale last Nov. 11. Swift was already the first artist to ever headline five shows at SoFi Stadium, before this fresh addition of a sixth.
Haim and Gracie Abrams will be the opening artists on the new date. Haim is the middle act on all six SoFi shows; the opening-opening slot on the dates has been split between Abrams, Gayle and Owenn.
Another 9 #TSTheErasTour shows go up in lights like diamonds in the sky.
