Skyline Club hoping for Taylor Swift economic boost INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Skyline Club in downtown Indianapolis is about to be Taylor Swift central. The club will host The Eras Tour Drag Brunch on Saturday, Oct. 26. Then on Thursday, Oct. 31, the night before the concert, there will be The Eras Tour Halloween Bash to hype up Swifties for what is to come the next day. The club will even host three Skyline Brunches: Eras Edition on November 1st-3rd the morning before each concert. Jeff Markowicz, general manager at the Skyline Club, said drag brunches are standard for them, and they host about four a year. But the Taylor Swift-themed show on Oct. 26th will be extra. ‘The drag brunches have been so successful here, now with Taylor Swift, if we can just talk her into coming that would be a killer,” Markowicz said. The Skyline Club had to open additional rooms to increase capacity from 150 to 200 for the Eras Tour Drag Brunch on Oct 26. There are just a few tickets left. Swift is expected to make a major economic impact on the Circle City. Last year, a Ball State economist estimated this tour stop could bring up to $100 million to the local economy. Markowicz said all of downtown could use this boost. “I think everyone downtown needs a little boost,” Markowicz said. “I mean we’ve gone through just such a tough period.” The Skyline Club will be hyping up Swifties all week before the concert. The Eras Tour Halloween Bash will be the night before the show. “These events, it’s going to be very casual. Anyone just dresses any way they want,” Markowicz said. “We’ll have costumes. We’ll have people not in costumes. We’ll have people not in costumes. But it will be a good blend. It’s more focused on fun and it’s not anything formal.” Each day before the concert, there will be a Skyline Brunch: Eras Edition to hype up fans with or without tickets. “Now she could come every month. I’d be a happy man but it’s good for the city,” Markowicz said. “A lot of excitement and I think that weekend is going to be crazy busy but it’s going to be a lot of fun.” Markowicz expects around 1,000 people will attend the events in total, with about 200 people at each event.
