UK sports stadiums expected to host more music events in the future
This summer, almost everyone has been captivated by the return of Oasis. While not all music fans are necessarily fans of Liam and Noel, their remarkable comeback has been impossible to ignore and it highlights just how huge they are, particularly in this part of the world. The band has also played in some exceptional sporting arenas, with fans attending in their thousands.
Of course, Oasis aren’t the only band or artist that has entertained huge crowds in a sporting arena. We’ve seen a number of stars shine this summer, with UK sports stadia now hosting an increasing number of music events. For example, alongside hosting major NFL events where fans wear their jerseys with pride and even bet on the action after checking out NFL playoff odds, Wembley has seen the likes of Coldplay and BLACKPINK. Likewise, Villa Park was the setting for Ozzy Osbourne’s “Back to the Beginning” concert, and it was deemed a huge success.
Now, though, with a number of sporting competitions returning, live concerts will start to slow down a bit. However, this summer has felt like a turning point for hosting massive acts in world-famous sports arenas, especially when assessing some of the UK’s top stadiums. With more sporting homes expected to put on an increasing number of gigs in the near future, below are some of the finest stadiums to potentially see a favourite bands play in the future.
Wembley Stadium, London
As we’ve already mentioned, Wembley has seen thousands of Oasis fans enjoy this state-of-the-art stadium this summer. The home of football is known to host some truly spectacular live music performances, with fans being able to see every second of the set thanks to the venue’s excellent seating arrangement. Also offering top-notch catering options and plenty of refreshing beverages to consume, Wembley Stadium is fast becoming an even more impressive venue to watch live music, especially as it now features some of music’s biggest names.
Principality Stadium, Cardiff
For those who’d rather avoid the high prices of London, then Cardiff’s Principality Stadium is another fantastic option many top acts will undoubtedly be visiting in the coming months. A venue that has welcomed some of the greatest rock bands ever, it has a retractable roof, which means any downpours won’t leave fans drenched. Additionally, it adds to the acoustics when the roof is shut, making for an even more special sound. As Wales’ main sports venue, this Cardiff venue definitely won’t be a let down.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Back to London, we have the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. After developing a strong reputation in more recent times, Spurs’ modern home is spectacular. Its newer design means people wll be able to enjoy an array of modern features, while its improved acoustics are also superb for any live music event.
Hampden Park, Glasgow
Many music makers love playing in Scotland thanks to venues like Hampden Park. The Scottish crowds certainly know how to make noise and create a memorable atmosphere, with over 50,000 fans likely to be crammed in during an epic show. Bands like AC/DC have shared their love of the place, while Foo Fighters have also put on some exceptional live performances for their Scottish fans. Hampden Park has a strong reputation in the music world, so expect to see even more gigs popping up there in the near future.
Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh
Another Scottish option for music fans, if a favourite band isn’t playing at Hampden Park, then they might be heading to Murrayfield Stadium instead. Located in Edinburgh, this rugby stadium offers faultless acoustics and an excellent viewing experience.
