Wembley Arena is an indoor arena in Wembley, London, England. It is next to Wembley Stadium. The arena was built for the 1934 British Empire Games. Originally, it had a large swimming pool, as reflected by its name at the time, Empire Pool.[1] In 1978, it was renamed Wembley Arena. It became one of the best known indoor music venues in England.[1] It seats 12,000. In April 2006 it was refurbished. It was the main stadium for the 1948 Summer Olympics.[2] Since 1934, Wembley has hosted concerts by the world's most famous artists, spanning many different genres of music.
