Approx. capacity: 12500
Wembley Arena (originally the Empire Pool) is an indoor arena, at Wembley, in the London Borough of Brent. It is located right next to Wembley Stadium. It was built for the 1934 British Empire Games, by Arthur Elvin, and originally housed a swimming pool, as reflected by its former name, Empire Pool. The pool itself was last used for the 1948 Summer Olympics. The building is used for music, comedy and family entertainment and for sport. The venue was renovated, along with Wembley Stadium, as part of the early-21st-century regeneration of the Wembley area. The arena refurbishment cost 35m pounds and the new arena opened to the public on 2 April 2006, with a concert by the English electronic-music band Depeche Mode. With 12,500 seats, it is London's second-largest indoor arena after The O2 Arena and third-largest indoor concert venue after the O2 and Earls Court Exhibition Centre, an exhibition hall which regularly stages concerts.

THE WHO will be rounding off their sold out UK QUADROPHENIA AND MORE tour
with a special show in aid of the Double O charity at Wembley Arena on July
8th.
The Double O charity was established by THE WHO in 1976 to focus on drug and
alcohol damage, domestic violence, sexual abuse, music education, emergency
relief for International disasters and young people's prison reform and has
donated over £4 million since it's inception.
This new concert version of QUADROPHENIA, personally directed by Roger
Daltrey, focuses on the original album and replaces the narrative used in
previous stage versions with powerful imagery projected on an array of
massive screens, designed to support, complement and propel the musical
content of the work by setting it in the context of the history of the band.
This is achieved to startling effect. "Quadrophenia and its coming-of-age
story unfolded in songs that blended nuance and noise, a spectacle grand and
gritty," writes the Orlando Sentinel.
The Who's tour features founding members ROGER DALTREY and PETE TOWNSHEND,
who will be joined by Zak Starkey (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Simon
Townshend (guitar/backing vocals), John Corey (keyboards), Loren Gold
(keyboards/backing vocals) and Frank Simes (musical director, keyboards/backing vocals).
