About Wembley Arena
Wembley Arena - the UK's flagship live music venue first opened in 1934 as the Empire Pool and Sports Arena hosting the 1948 Olympics and numerous sporting and musical events. 73 years and a £35 million refurbishment later, the venue is synonymous with live music, welcoming scores of sell out shows and one off UK tour dates from major recording artists each year.
Wembley Arena has played host to some of the greatest music acts of all time, but is also well known as a sports and entertainment venue. Playing host to ice skating shows such as Disney on Ice, Holiday on Ice and Dancing on Ice, family events such as CBeebies and Thomas the Tank Engine and even becoming a luxury equestrian centre for the pampered horses of the Spanish Riding School. Audley Harrison and Amir Khan have both boxed at the venue recently and Masters Snooker retains its historic links with Wembley following its move from the Conference Centre last year.
The Arena continues to play host to the greatest global recording artists, most popular sporting personalities and most enchanting children's shows and is looking forward to celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2009!
The Wembley site has a fascinating history. Once rolling parkland, the Wembley complex has been the site of historic events for almost a century.
In 1924, the British Empire Exhibition opened here, with exhibition buildings dedicated to the countries and the professions of the Empire. Billed as a Family Day Out, the Empire Exhibition featured lakes and parks alongside buildings dedicated to Arts, Industries and Engineering. The new Wembley Stadium stood across the road from the Palaces of India, Canada and Australia. Although hugely successful as a visitor attraction, the exhibition was not profitable and the land was soon divided among different owners. Some of the buildings fell into disrepair, whilst others found new uses once the exhibition itself had closed.
In 1934, the new Empire Pool was constructed at Wembley in the space of just six months. This large public swimming facility boasted two pools and a wave machine, and was used for a host of public events from the 1934 Empire Games (now the Commonwealth Games), to Boxing, Ice Hockey, the 1948 Olympics, and music events. Over time, these music events were to develop into the lifeblood of the Empire Pool, especially when the era of Rock n Roll took hold. With a temporary cover across the swimming pool and a stage at one end, the venue became famous for hosting the big names of the day, including Petula Clark, Shirley Bassey, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
In 1978 the Empire Pool became Wembley Arena, the most famous indoor concert hall in the world, with a 12,000-seat capacity. Over the years, anyone who is anyone has played Wembley Arena: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Kylie, Queen, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Status Quo, George Michael, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, The Rolling Stones, Eagles, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Cher, David Bowie - the list is endless.
Following a spectacular £35m refurbishment the Arena reopened in April 2006, and the superstars have flooded back to play the 'new' Wembley Arena. The completion of the refurbishment marks the start of a new era for this world famous venue and makes Wembley Arena the UK's must play venue.
