Capital FM has unveiled a new pop-up radio station, ‘Capital (Taylor’s Version),’ dedicated exclusively to Taylor Swift’s music ahead of her UK tour. This initiative marks the first time a national DAB radio station in the UK has been devoted to a single artist.
The station will feature non-stop hits from Swift’s critically acclaimed albums such as ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version),’ ‘Red (Taylor’s Version),’ ‘Midnights,’ and ‘Folklore.’ Additionally, it will provide listeners with the latest updates on her UK tour, including pre- and post-show coverage and fan interactions.
Brent Tobin, Managing Editor of Capital, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: ‘We were so excited to create this pop-up radio station to celebrate Taylor Swift. It’s set to be a fan favourite, with not only the greatest songs, but top trivia and tour news. We’ll be on air until it’s So Long, London and we hope all the Swifties join us for the ultimate tour celebration!’
Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ is set to commence its UK leg on Friday, June 7th, in Edinburgh. The tour will include performances in Liverpool, Cardiff, and eight shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. The tour, spanning 152 shows across five continents, has been declared the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.
Listeners can tune in to ‘Capital (Taylor’s Version)’ via DAB digital radio, Global Player, or the official Capital app. The station will be on air until the end of Swift’s UK tour, providing a dedicated platform for fans to enjoy her music and stay updated on tour news.
In addition to her tour, Swift has recently announced the addition of three new opening artists for her UK dates: Mette, Griff, and Benson Boone. Paramore will also join Swift for all eight of her Wembley Stadium dates.
This unique radio station is a celebration of Taylor Swift’s music and her highly-anticipated UK tour, offering fans a comprehensive and immersive experience.
