Want to 'shake it off' at a Taylor Swift afterparty? Dublin has you ...
As the concerts of the summer are fast approaching this weekend, Swifties are arriving in Dublin in great numbers.
There are plenty of parties happening around the city in the coming days for those looking for more Taylor Swift-themed fun.
If you yearn for more Tay-Tay music after the show, or you simply weren’t one of the 150,000 lucky ticket holders, then it’s worth checking out some of the events allowing you to shake it off.
Church of Taylor Swift – Eras Tour afterpartyLooking for somewhere to go to celebrate the Taylor Swift Eras Tour after the first gig on Friday night?
These doors open at 11pm for the Church of Taylor Swift at the Well, just next to St Stephen’s Green.
Tickets start at €11.70 and the event promises to play all eras of Tay Tay’s music.
If you and your friends are looking for some fun before you head to the Aviva Stadium, the Well runs Taylor Swift Bottomless Brunch on Friday.
Seatings start at 12pm until 5pm, with prices at €20 for two hours of bottomless bubbly or pints of Madri with the purchase of a brunch dish.
The events are all part of SwiftFest24 – a fan festival which is a collaboration between fans and some Dublin venues.
Taylor Swift after-party in WigwamIf you’re attending the Saturday gig, you can go straight to a Taylor Swift afterparty with Loubru at Wigwam, with doors opening at 11pm, just after the Aviva concert.
Tickets start at €10, with a house spirit drink or pint on arrival.
Chris Raymond of Wigwam said it would be the place “to shake it off after the show,” adding it’s almost sold out.
“We're also doing a Taylor Swift-themed drag brunch on Friday – a bunch of reasons to come to WigWam before and after the show,” ” he told the Irish Independent.
As the organisers note – no Taylor Swift concert tickets necessary!
The Ultimate SWIFTIE Brunch at NoLitaThis pre-concert brunch will get you ready for the night on Saturday and Sunday – with Swiftie-themed cocktails, named after her hits.
The DJ will play only Taylor Swift music from all eras and you can also take part in the fan knowledge quiz.
Head of Sales and Events for the Mercantile Group John Melia told the Irish Independent NoLita will create a “fun space for all fans”.
"Almost as soon as the gigs were announced, we started planning the event, with the idea it's going to be a fun space before the gigs.
"But then, with them selling out so quickly, it's also a fun thing for people to do on the day if they're not actually attending gigs.
"The demand has been huge, it’s probably the most popular one that we’ve done. The reaction to this one has been very strong,” he said, adding there are only a few tickets left.
Swifties can dress up as their favorite Tay Tay’s era – the best-dressed win a West Coast Cooler Swag prizes.
The brunch sitting are from 12pm to 2pm and from 2.30pm to 4.30pm and tickets start at €35.
Taylor Swift VR experienceA VR experience allows fans to enjoy the Beat Saber game to test their Taylor Swift song knowledge.
The experience at VR Link, Dublin 1, has come to Ireland’s capital on June 15, and the last day you can enjoy it is Friday.
Beat Saber is a solo game where you use lightsabers to cut blocks to music.
The event runs all day and can be a fun beginning to your Taylor Swift weekend.
