This summer, London’s Wembley Stadium, connected by EE, has seen an incredible surge of over 1,000,000 visitors.
The stadium played host to a versatile line-up of both music and sporting events that captivated audiences throughout June, July, and August.
In a season packed with memorable performances, some of the top names in music today like Harry Styles graced the Wembley stage, delivering electrifying shows to sold-out audiences for four consecutive nights in June.
The iconic band Blur also made their debut appearance at the historic venue, and fans were thrilled when the legendary Kylie Minogue made a surprise appearance at Capital’s Summertime Ball.
But it wasn’t just the music that made headlines at Wembley this summer.
