Стадион «Уэмбли» (Wembley Stadium), расположенный в северо-западном районе Лондона, — одно из самых известных сооружений такого плана в Европе. Старый стадион «Уэмбли» был построен в 1923 году. На этой грандиозной арене проходили финалы кубка Англии, матчи летней Олимпиады 1948 года, финальные матчи европейских чемпионатов и матчи чемпионата мира. Несмотря на то что концерты проходили на Wembley Stadium и раньше, именно этот благотворительный марафон вписал его в историю музыки. С тех пор на арене Wembley Stadium выступили Майкл Джексон, AC/DC, U2, Green Day, Muse, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Take That, Coldplay, Metallica и многие другие известные исполнители.
