Exclusive: London Stadium Eyes 24 Big Concerts a Year

London Stadium seeks approval to host up to 24 concerts annually—up from 10—by reducing football fixtures from 97 to 94. The bid aims to attract major artists like The Weeknd, who broke attendance records there in 2023. Operators propose increasing concert capacity to 85,000 for eight events to enable in-the-round staging. Noise limits would rise to 75 dB to support high-energy shows, reinforcing competitiveness against UK venues like Wembley.
