Here’s how the Taylor Swift Eras tour dates at Wembley Stadium will affect plans for AEW All In London 2024 pay-per-view event.
As was originally announced at the 2023 event, AEW will return to Wembley Stadium for another All In London show next August.
With the show slated for August 25, there won’t be long between this AEW event, and the Wembley leg of the 2024 Taylor Swift Eras tour, which will be at the stadium from August 15 to August 20.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Tony Khan confirmed that AEW agreed to speed up the set-up for AEW All In 2024, so that more Taylor Swift shows could be accomodated.
Khan explained:
“If you look at the calendar of Wembley Stadium events for August of 2024, you’ll see that scheduled ahead of us is Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift being scheduled at Wembley Stadium ahead of AEW is a big deal.
“And I have some interesting stories about how all of this came to be and where we’re at. It’s very, very fun.
“So, when Wembley approached us about our load-in and about these Taylor Swift shows, there was an opportunity for them to add more shows and we are going to do everything we can to abbreviate our load in time.
“So basically, they came to us and said it would help us out a lot if you could load in your show faster because we’d have the opportunity to have more Taylor Swift shows, and could you guys do that? And we said, well, it’ll be costly and very challenging, and we really would like to help you out. And so yeah, I will.
“I think there’s so many great Taylor Swift fans and Wembley’s been great to us. We have a great relationship and it’s going to cost more, and we will double our efforts and hopefully score points with a lot of great fans and a great community of Taylor Swift fans.
“So, if we can make more Taylor Swift shows in London possible by speeding up our load-in and I pay a little bit extra to do so, but we still have a great event at Wembley. Everybody wins.
“I’m not going to get crushed or killed in the process, so I’m fine with that. And I think a little bit of extra money and a little bit of extra human power getting the show put on, it’s worth it.’
