Upcoming Events at Wembley Stadium
About Wembley Stadium: Layout, History & Architecture
The current Wembley Stadium, inaugurated in 2007, stands on the site of its famed predecessor, which dated to 1923. Its postmodern design, dominated by the iconic 133-meter-tall arch, defines the skyline of north-west London. Primarily configured as an all-seater bowl, the space accommodates 90,000 spectators across three tiers for sporting events and concerts. For musical performances, the pitch level often converts to a general standing area, supplemented by temporary seating, while the permanent tiered seating rises steeply around the perimeter.
Sightlines throughout the auditorium are generally unobstructed, benefiting from modern stadium architecture designed to offer clear views of the central action. However, due to the sheer scale of the space, patrons in the upper tiers will experience significant distance from a stage placed at one end of the pitch. Acoustically, the open-air bowl presents inherent challenges for live music; sound dispersal and echo are natural characteristics of such a vast structure. Consequently, the success of audio projection relies almost entirely on sophisticated, high-powered PA systems to deliver amplified sound effectively to all sections of the arena.
The Live Experience & Current Schedule
Entering the stadium typically involves navigating wide pedestrian concourses leading to multiple dedicated gates, each funneling into the main circulation areas. Inside, a network of extensive concourses provides access to numerous concession stands and bars, managing large crowd flows efficiently. For concerts, the atmosphere varies significantly between the dynamic density of the pitch-level standing area and the more measured experience of the seated tiers. While standing offers close proximity and energetic engagement, seated sections provide panoramic views, albeit with stage presence diminishing with increasing elevation and distance. With 11 live performances scheduled, upcoming entry prices start from £20. The next confirmed event on the calendar is Kansas Jayhawks vs Arizona State Sun Devils American Football - Union Jack Classic on 19th September 2026.

Parking & Vehicle Access
Official stadium parking is available in several designated zones, including Green Car Park, Pink Car Park, and Yellow Car Park, all within a 10-minute walk of the venue. Due to high demand and significant congestion on event days, advance booking through the official Wembley Park website is strongly recommended, as on-the-day availability is rare and local parking restrictions are strictly enforced. Fees vary depending on the event.
Entry, Queues & Security
Main entry points are clearly signposted around the stadium perimeter. Patrons should check their ticket for the designated entry gate (e.g., A, B, C). Extensive queueing systems are implemented on event days. All attendees are subject to bag searches upon entry, with a strict policy on bag sizes (typically no larger than A4). Early arrival, especially for major events, is advisable to navigate security checks and find seats before performance commencement.
