Taylor Swift is bringing her “reputation” stadium tour to London, Manchester and Dublin next summer, courtesy of Live Nation, SJM Concerts and MCD.

Swift will be taking a break from the U.S. leg of the tour after the June 2 show at Chicago’s Soldier Field stadium to travel overseas. She’ll be gracing the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, June 8, followed by Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, June 15, and London’s Wembley Stadium, June 22.

The reputation tour will continue in the U.S. on June 30 at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Ky. The North American leg is promoted by AEG Presents. Tour expectations are high, after all Swift’s last tour accompanying her 2014 album 1989 dominated Pollstar’s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours chart.

The sold-out 1989 tour grossed more than $250 million in 2015, with an average of 42,893 tickets sold per concert. The incredible sales of her latest album, reputation, indicate that demand for the artist remains unabated.

Tickets for the UK shows go on sale to the general public Dec.1.

TaylorSwift.com subscribers will have access to tickets from Nov. 29.

Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system, which was used during the U.S. onsale, won’t be used for the UK dates.

Pollstar took a look at the ins and outs of the system in a preview of the reputation tour.

Live Nation UK did not answer Pollstar’s request for clarification on whether more UK dates might follow.
