Taylor Swift is bringing her Eras Tour to Cardiff's Principality Stadium in just a matter of days- the seventh show in her UK 2024 run. Taking place for just one night only on Tuesday, June 18, it is set to be a night to remember, with the Edinburgh performances by The Tortured Poets Department star described "as all-powerful as a pop star can be."

And if you are attending the concert, or just want to be part of the atmosphere afterwards, there are loads of events going on you can book to ensure you don't miss out, so you can celebrate the day to the max. Especially because there has been so much excitement and preparation going into the countdown to the Grammy Award-winning singer coming to Cardiff, from outift prep, to organising hotels and timings with your friendship squad, it's only fair to make the most of the occasion.

From Taylor Swift-themed cocktails to emo-meets-pop celebrations, there are a host of venues you could be flaunting your new merchandise in or sparkling in your Era's tour outfit after the gig in the Welsh capital, so here are all the places you can shimmer like a disco ball and soak up the experience of the night.

Mocka Lounge, Mill Lane

Did somebody say terrace party? Mocka Lounge is a premier destination in Cardiff for luxury cocktails and nightlife, so if you are looking to party the night away in style after the Era’s Tour show, you should definitely check out their event after the concert, as people take to their terrace to celebrate.

With disco balls, twinkly lights, and service which aims to offer customers a “taste of celebrity treatment” when you walk in, it is truly a Swiftie’s paradise. To book a table, you can email Mocka Lounge at info@mockalounge.com or call on 02920 221292.

Clwb Ifor Bach, Womanby Street

Clwb Ifor Bach is also hosting the ultimate afters, but it’s not just Taylor Swift songs they will be playing after her big show. They are playing all the hits, fan favourites as well as music by Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Conan Gray, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus and more.

And if you have travelled to Cardiff especially for the show, Clwb is a great Welsh landmark, as it was founded forty years ago as a member’s club for Welsh language speakers in Cardiff. It quickly developed into a gathering place for local musicians who went on to form bands like Catatonia, Super Furry Animals, and other Welsh acts that became well-known in the mid-90s, putting the club well and truly on the touring circuit in the UK.

They will be holding the event from 10:30pm- 3am. But hurry- Clwb is selling their final release tickets now for £5, so book quickly, here, to avoid disappointment.

Metros, Bakers Row

The day Taylor is performing in Cardiff is also a special moment for Paramore fans, who are supporting her. So if anyone who is into pop punk and emo, adding the Metro’s after party to their itinerary is a must.

Morgan Quarter nightclub Metros is hosting DJ Luna Tunes, who is playing a mix of Paramore, Taylor Swift, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Olivia Rodrigo and more. They will be offering 2 for 1 cocktails before 11:30pm and half price entry before 11pm.

You can buy general admission and queue jump tickets now for £4.

Retro, Mill Lane

The nightclub on Mill Lane that is popular with stag and hen groups is embracing all the Taylor Swift classics, both before and after the concert. They will be doing karaoke from 3pm, and are welcoming their DJ from 10pm, where they’ll play some Swiftie favourites as well as lots more from the 80s, 90s and 00s.

And with a 2 for 1 offer on VK bottles and buckets, what’s not to love? You can still book free admission tickets, plus a free shot with your first drink, or a table with seats up to six people for £10. Get the best user experience with WalesOnline’s Premium app on Apple or Android.

The Philharmonic, St Mary Street

Just a quick stroll from the Principality Stadium The Philharmonic is also hosting an after party, with music from their resident DJs, with a mix of tunes as well as Taylor Swift anthems.

The event is from 9pm until 3pm, and as you have probably gathered- Cardiff loves a cocktail deal. They are doing two for £12 cocktails all night, and they are even Taylor Swift-themed including the Cruel Summer Shortcake, Shake It Off and Love Story cocktails, which all include some Tequila Rose.

You can also upgrade with a golden ticket for 2-4-1 on all cocktails for the entire night. The any time entry ticket costs £2, entry before 10pm is £3, before 11pm is £3, and the golden ticket is £6

Heidi's, Mill Lane

This après-ski themed bar is a Cardiff partygoer’s favourite- and with two floors of Taylor Swift songs, inflatables and cardboard cut-outs, they are going all out after the concert.

The best bit about this event is that you can book ahead for free. Heidis says online: ‘We LOVE Taylor Swift just as much as you- so have a ticket on us.” Doors open at 10pm and close at 3am.

Mary’s, St Mary Street

Marys is a LGBTQ+ friendly venue, and is hosting a Taylor night after the concert from 1pm-1am, featuring DJs and even a post concert cabaret with Polly Amorous, who describes herself as ‘the sober songbird of Splott.’

Taylor Swift is also well-known for her love of Pride month, so what a better place to celebrate this amazing month and your favourite singer all at once? You can visit the Mary’s website for more details and how to book.

Dirty Martini, St Mary Street

We told you Cardiff loves a cocktail. If this sounds like a bit of you, Dirty Martini is a match made in heaven. Also just a short stroll from the stadium, they are doing happy hour all day and night as, and are playing Taylor Swift tunes into the early hours.

Open from 12pm, if you show your ticket to the show on entry, you get a free ‘Shake It Off’ shot. You can make a booking on the Dirty Martini website here.

Revolution, Castle Street

Nothing says Taylor Swift like colour, fun and all things fabulous, so chain bar Revs is a great shout if you want to blow off steam after the concert. Doors open at 9pm, and they will be playing Taylor Swift anthems until 3am. And with 2-4-1 cocktails all night and funk décor, and cheap tickets starting at £3, it sounds like the place to be.
