Taylor Swift ticket prices for UK Eras Tour as fans wait for access codes

Actually pleasantly surprised by these prices.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 12th July 2023

We finally know how much Taylor Swift tickets will cost when the star brings her Eras Tour to the UK.

Demand for the stadium shows is expected to be extremely high, with a complicated system introduced by Ticketmaster to manage the on-sale.

And while fans impatiently wait to see if they’ll even have the chance to try and buy tickets (access codes for UK fans should arrive by Friday), we can all at least start budgeting for Taylor Swift tickets.

That’s because an album pre-sale took place earlier this week for those who were organised enough to pre-order her latest album, Midnights.

And through that, we can see what the star is charging for her UK dates.

General ticket prices are set to range between £58.65 and £194.75, which might sound expensive until you remember Madonna and her tickets that STARTED at £143.85. 

There are VIP packages too, priced all the way up to £662.50, starting from £196.60.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is on track to be the biggest and most profitable tour in history, and has been setting social media alight since she launched it in north America this year.

Fans back here in Europe have been waiting with baited breath for tour dates here, which were finally announced last month.

While she’ll be skipping Manchester on this occasion, you can bet the Swifties will be willing to travel to her other shows in Liverpool, London, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

The Eras Tour tickets on-sale in the USA was branded a disaster, with websites crashing, prices fluctuating, and people stuck in queues for hours and hours.

So there’ll be strict systems in place here in the UK.

Here’s what you need to know.

Peter Hook announces special career-spanning city centre show, with a veteran Manc band supporting

Danny Jones Danny Jones

Local music legend Peter Hook and his live touring partners, ‘The Light’, have announced a special career-spanning anniversary gig right here in Manchester, chronicling his incredible music career.

The former Joy Division member and subsequent New Order co-founder is celebrating 50 years in the business next year, and is marking the occasion with a comprehensive and retrospective live show come the summer.

Arguably one of the most influential musicians to have ever come out of the region, the Salford-born bassist and now lead singer of his own solo outfit (still playing countless hits from his extremely lengthy discography, of course) is now 69 years old and still going strong.

In fact, that’s exactly what they’ll be doing for the landmark live show: playing some of the biggest and best tunes from his various projects over the decades he’s spent in the studio and on the stage.

Suitably shared in Haçienda/Sex Pistol-coloured announcement poster, not only will Hook be revisiting Joy Division’s seminal debut album, Unknown Pleasures, but he’ll be going back through everything from Power Corruption & Lies by New Order to his lesser-known works.

Be it his 1995 side project, Monaco, or the recently unearthed Freebass collab with the likes of Andy Rourke, Tim Burgess, and the late, great ‘Mani’ from the Stone Roses, fans of the avid audiophile and prolific live performer are in for a real treat.

Having toured this storied material extensively, Peter Hook and the Light have now amassed over 800 concerts as a band. For the Greater Manchester native himself, it’s an incredible feat to make in the music industry, full stop, let alone reach half a century in it.

As for the Pistols connection, ‘Hooky‘ just happened to be one of several future Manc icons like half of The Smiths and The Fall, Factory Records’ own Tony Wilson, John Cooper Clarke, and even his then-soon-to-be Joy Division bandmate turned New Order lead singer, Bernard Sumner.

It’s a fairly safe bet you’ll find the post-punk veteran and plenty more of his peers in the crowd for another major music milestone in 2026.

Sex Pistols and Frank Carter to toast important Manc music anniversary with massive outdoor gig
It’s this particular date the group are toasting that motivated Hook to go out and buy a guitar.

Even more fittingly, this 50th anniversary gig will also see the group joined by another veteran rock band from the region, as fellow local punk sons, The Buzzocks from Bolton, who also formed after THAT very same gig at Lesser Free Trade Hall in ’76.

Early access tickets for the exclusive show at Manchester Academy next June go on pre-sale this Wednesday, 3 December; general admission will be available from Friday, 5 December.

You can get ready to grab yours HERE.

We had the honour of chatting with the man, the myth, the legend, once again back in February 2024, when our Audio North arm was still known as ‘The Manc Audio’.

You can watch the interview down below.

Rising Manchester band M60 announce biggest UK headline tour to date

Danny Jones Danny Jones M60 Manchester live gig date tickets

Local lads M60 have announced their biggest UK headline tour yet, and are now only set to play their lengthiest run of live dates, but the largest Manchester gig they’ve played so far.

There’s nothing quite like a hometown crowd, is there?

For those who may not have yet come across them before, the Manc indie band have had a good couple of years, releasing some of their best-produced music to date and growing an even bigger following up and down the country.

If you’ve been to see M60 live here in Manchester, you’ll know they already bring a die-hard crowd of deeply loyal and passionate fans. They’re also the band that famously and successfully pestered Gary Neville every day to give them a shout-out for the best part of a year…

Revealing the latest series of shows to start off December, M60 have confirmed nearly a dozen gig dates in the new year.

Scheduled to get underway next spring, they’ll be playing throughout the month of April and into May 2026; official support act(s) are yet to be signed up, but you can expect more native talent to share in the spotlight.

You can see the full list of gigs announced down below.

M60 live tour dates – 2026

Oh, and we’ve also kindly highlighted the other Northern dates for you, just in case you can’t make it to the Manc one.

  • Thursday, 9 April – Liverpool District
  • Friday, 10 April – Sheffield Foundry
  • Saturday, 11 April – Leeds Key Club
  • Thursday, 16 April – Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms
  • Friday, 17 April – London Oslo
  • Saturday, 18 April – Bristol Thekla
  • Thursday, 23 April – Birmingham Mama Roux’s
  • Friday, 24 April – Nottingham Rescue Rooms
  • Saturday, 25 April – Manchester O2 Ritz
  • Friday, 1 May – Glasgow Nice N Sleazy
  • Saturday, 2 May – Newcastle The Grove
Music video budget be damned, it’s still a good tune.

Having released their latest single ‘Lemonade’, along with a rather fitting new brand logo, the group are looking to kick on in 2026.

With new lead guitarist, Owen Baldwin, joining the quartet earlier this year, not to mention having played big festival slots at the likes of Kendal Calling, Neighbourhood and more this past summer, we have every faith they will.

Tickets for their huge homecoming performance at O2 Ritz in Manchester on Saturday, 25 April 2026, go on general sale this Friday, 5 December at 10am.

You can get ready to grab yours HERE.
