What to Pack in Your Bag for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Dublin
Irish Swifties, it is our time!
With Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour coming to Dublin, it’s time to get ready for an unforgettable night of music and memories.
To make sure you’re fully prepared and can enjoy every moment, here’s the ultimate guide on what to pack in your bag for the Eras Tour concert in Dublin…
The Essentials
1. Tickets and ID
This might seem obvious, but it’s easy to forget in the excitement. Double-check that you have your tickets. You or a member of your party will need to download the Ticketmaster app to show your tickets for entry. You cannot screen-grab or print your tickets. Have the app downloaded before you head off and check that you have access to your tickets to keep the admission line running soothly.
Remember! Ticket transfers will only open up a few days before the concert to help combat ticket touting. You can then safely transfer tickets to friends to make things easier if you’re going as part of a group.
You may also need a valid ID. Some venues may require identification for entry or for picking up tickets at the box office. Bring it just to be safe.
2. Phone and Portable Charger
Your phone is crucial for capturing those incredible moments and staying in touch with friends. A fully charged phone and a portable charger will ensure you don’t miss a beat. Don’t forget your charging cable!
These ones are perfect as they’re small. Penneys and Flying Tiger also have portable chargers.
3. Cash and Cards
The Aviva Stadium is cashless, which means that you will need card to buy food and drinks. While vendors accept cards, it’s always good to have some cash on hand for merchandise, food, and other purchases outside the stadium and for transport.
4. Comfortable Clothing and Shoes
Dress for comfort as you’ll be on your feet dancing and singing along all night. Think layers, as Dublin’s weather can be unpredictable. Comfortable shoes are a must to keep you dancing from start to finish.
Compeed is a must!
5. A Small Bag
Many venues have a clear bag policy, so make sure your bag is compliant but so far the advice is to have a small bag only. That means no large bags or backpacks.

The Extras
6. Era-Specific Outfits
One of the best parts of the Eras Tour is seeing all the creative outfits fans wear to represent their favorite Taylor Swift era. Whether you’re going for “Fearless” fairy-tale vibes, “Red” chic, or “Lover” pastel aesthetics, a fun and era-appropriate outfit will add to the excitement.
7. Signs and Glow Sticks
Show your love and support with a creative sign. Just be sure it’s not too large to obstruct the view of others. Glow sticks or LED lights can also add to the concert atmosphere and make for great photos.
8. Ear Protection
It may seem counterproductive to wear earplugs at a concert but trust us, you will still be able to hear Taylor while also protecting your hearing.

9. Snacks and Water
Check the venue’s policy on bringing your own snacks and water. Staying hydrated and having a light snack on hand can keep your energy up throughout the concert. If outside food isn’t allowed, plan to purchase these inside the venue – don’t go without food. It’s a long night and you want to make sure that you can enjoy it fully.
10. Weather-Appropriate Gear
Dublin’s weather can be unpredictable. Bring a small, packable raincoat or poncho if the forecast looks wet. For sunny days, don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen. The Sculpted by Aimee Sun Mist – SPF 50 Spray is perfect for your bag and won’t ruin your makeup.
The Fun Extras
11. Friendship Bracelets
Inspired by Taylor’s song “You’re On Your Own Kid” from the Midnights album, fans have been making and trading friendship bracelets at shows. Bring some to trade with fellow Swifties for a fun and memorable experience.
12. Backup Outfit and Essentials
If you’re planning to arrive early and wait in line, you might want a change of clothes for comfort. Also, pack essentials like hand sanitiser, tissues (sometimes there’s none in the bathrooms), period products if needed and any personal items you might need.
Last-Minute Checks
Before you head out, make sure to:
- Check the venue’s website for any specific rules or restrictions.
- Fully charge all your devices.
- Plan your transportation to and from the venue.
- Coordinate with friends on a meeting spot in case you get separated.
With these tips, you’ll be more than ready to enjoy Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Dublin. Get ready to sing your heart out and make memories that will last a lifetime. See you there, Swifties!
