On April 28, 1923, the Wembley Stadium was inaugurated for the British Empire Exhibition of 1924. In 1948, the Olympic Games were held there, then in 1966, the stadium hosted the World Cup of soccer. Recognizable thanks to its twin towers, located on each side of the entrance, this arena hosts in 1985 the mythical Live Aid. On June 11, 1988, a big party is celebrated there on the occasion of the seventieth birthday of Nelson Mandela.
On April 20, 1992, all the top international rock stars gathered there for the Freddie Mercury Tribute. Later, Bon Jovi, the Spice Girls, KISS, Celine Dion, Tina Turner and Oasis were among the artists that the stadium hosted.
In 2003, when the city of London was already planning the 2012 Olympic Games, the decision was made to destroy it completely and rebuild it in a more modern version.
