George Michael is to launch a new chapter of music concerts at the brand new Wembley Stadium on June 9th, as part of a new UK and European summer tour.
George Michael has been confirmed as the launch artist for music concerts at the brand new Wembley Stadium. The concert, on Saturday June 9th will be the first in a number of sporting stadium venues across the UK, as part of his European stadium tour. Tickets for all UK venues will be on sale from BritishConcerts.com on Thursday March 8th at 10am.
Alex Horne, Managing Director of Wembley Stadium, said: "It's fantastic news that George Michael is to play Wembley Stadium's opening concert. He's no stranger to this great stage having performed at the old stadium both with Wham! at Live Aid and also as a solo artist, so this is a fitting first gig in the new stadium. I'm sure this will be a very hot ticket and we are looking forward to putting the stadium back on the world map as a major music destination..."
