Taylor Swift to play biggest crowd ever at the MCG as she locks in Australian tour for early 2024

Taylor Swift to play her biggest crowd ever at the MCG as she locks in Australian arena tour for early 2024 – as tickets go on sale next month

Taylor Swift will tour Australia early next year, insiders have revealed.

The superstar will bring The Eras Tour to Sydney in January before heading to Melbourne the following month, according to sources at multiple venues and ticketing agency Ticketek.

The Shake It Off singer is expected to play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which has a capacity of 100,000. If she sells out the venue, which she almost certainly will, it will be one of the biggest shows of her career, reports the Shameless podcast.

Tickets for her Australian and New Zealand dates will reportedly go on sale in April. 

‘Today we’ve spoken to another well-placed source at the MCG who said dates have been booked in for February,’ Shameless host Zara McDonald said in a TikTok video.

‘It sounds like it will either be late February or early March and Taylor has looked at what Ed Sheeran did with his dates and saw the audience approval was really high and they really enjoyed it and she’s doing the same thing in 2024.

‘So keep your eye out for dates, it looks like she’s coming to us.’

Industry sources shared further details about the Australian tour during a Q&A on Shameless’ Instagram Stories.

‘January for Sydney! Best worst kept secret in the industry,’ one follower claimed. 

‘Know someone who works for Ticketek, tickets on sale end of April,’ another said. 

One follower noted Taylor often tours in December, but the Shameless team ruled this out and said it would more likely be in early 2024, before the start of the AFL and NRL seasons.

Shameless was first to report on the rumours about Taylor’s Aussie tour.

The podcast shared an Instagram post on Saturday citing an MCG employee who said the musician had just booked the famous stadium.

The Look What You Made Me Do star is currently in the middle of American tour, which is scheduled to end on August 5.

As of last December, Taylor’s Midnights album has sold more than six million equivalent units worldwide, three million of them in the United States.

The singer–songwriter broke a record for the sales by moving that many units in just two months.

Midnights also had the distinction of becoming the first album to sell more than one million physical copies since 2015.

Taylor was named Australia’s most-streamed artist in Spotify’s 2022 Wrapped.
