Wembley Stadium will move any fans who gather outside the venue during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour performances this week and the next.
The musician is returning to the London venue for her record-breaking tour tomorrow and on August 16, 17, 19, and 20.
The decision comes after a suspected terror plot at one of her shows in Vienna, which led to three dates in the Austrian capital being cancelled.
However, London’s Metropolitan Police have reassured fans that the plot will have no “impact” on the concerts
It has become a trend for fans to gather where Swift is playing even if they cannot get into the concert.
In Munich last month, an estimated 40,000 people gathered on a hill outside of the Olympiastadion to catch a glimpse of the star in action.
“To support the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium,” read a statement on the Wembley Stadium website.
“Non-ticket holders will be moved on.”
It adds that overnight camping outside the stadium is also prohibited.
Austrian authorities arrested three people over an alleged plot to bomb one of the concerts and police said that one of the suspects confessed to planning to “kill as many people as possible outside the concert venue”.
Swift’s five upcoming shows at Wembley follows three concerts at the venue in June.
It is estimated that the Eras Tour will make around $2bn (£1.5bn/€1.8bn) by the time it finishes which is more than twice as much as the previous record-holder Elton John, whose Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour grossed $939m.
