The American singer Taylor Swift, expected in France for four dates in France, adds two new concerts in Paris and Lyon. The first stage of ticketing is this Wednesday, July 5.
[Mis à jour le 05 juillet 2023 à 17h51] Faced with the enthusiasm caused by the announcement of the first three concert dates of Taylor Swift in France, two new shows have been added to the American singer’s French tour, one in Paris on May 12, the other in Lyon on June 3, 2024. To sum up, Taylor Swift will therefore perform on 09, 10 , May 11 and 12, 2024 at Paris La Défense Arena, then June 2 and 3, 2024 at Groupama Stadium in Lyon. Note that for these dates, the American rock band Paramore is announced as a special guest.
The Eras Tour, which will begin at the end of August in Mexico, will end a year later, on August 17, 2024, at Wembley Stadium in London. This new burst of international concerts, which is added to the dates previously announced in the United States, will pass through some twenty countries around the world, such as Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany or Austria… And, of course, France.
With an unprecedented ticketing system, put in place to fight against robots and unscrupulous resellers, but also, certainly, to avoid the serial bugs that the Ticketmaster platform had experienced when American tickets went on sale, which had strained the nerves of the fans and aroused their anger. A first step was expected this Wednesday, July 5: if you have registered, an email informs you if you have been selected for sale on July 11, or placed on the waiting list. Good luck !
The American singer, who was initially scheduled to perform only three times in France, has just added a date to her Parisian residence: Taylor Swift will perform in the huge hall of Paris La Défense Arena on May 9, 10 and 11, 2024.
