European Taylor Swift fans won’t have to look closely at the fine print on a grid to figure out who will be opening for her on which nights on the “Eras Tour” next year, as American fans did this year. Swift revealed Wednesday that Paramore will be preceding her on stage for her entire European tour.
Additionally, she announced that 14 shows have been added to the lineup, all representing second, third, fourth or even sixth nights in cities that were already on the itinerary for May through August of 2024.
“Really can’t contain my excitement because… we’re adding 14 new shows to The Eras Tour,” Swift wrote on social media. “And I get to travel the world doing shows with Paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer??? I’m screaming???”
The added dates for Swift’s U.K./Europe tour are: a fourth night in Paris, on May 12, 2024; a third night in Stockholm, Sweden May 19; a second night in Portugal, Lisbon on May 25; a second night in Lyon, France June 3; a third night in Edinburgh in the U.K. on June 9; a third night in Liverpool June 13; a sixth night in London, on June 23; a third night in Dublin, Ireland June 30; a third night in Amsterdam in the Netherlands July 4; a second night in Milan, Italy July 14; a second and third night in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on July 17 and 19; a third night in Warsaw, Poland on Aug. 1; and a third night in Vienna, Austria on Aug. 8.

While it’s now known that Paramore will provide direct support for Swift’s entire run in Europe, that still leaves open the question of whether there will be a third artist on the bill in all those venues and, if so, who.
Sabrina Carpenter was recently announced as the opening act for Swift’s shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore, which take place Feb. 16 through March 9 of 2024. Carpenter will also be opening for Swift’s Latin American shows in late August through late November of this year.
Swift’s U.S. tour is far from done, not wrapping up till an Aug. 9 finale at the L.A. area’s SoFi Stadium. Abrams, Haim, Gayle, Muna and Owenn are among the opening acts in the coming U.S. dates.
In the U.S., Paramore opened the first two nights of the tour in Glendale, Arizona, before the band went on its own way to do headlining dates behind the February album “This Is Why,” their first release in six years.
Swift’s new album, “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” comes out Thursday night.
