Millennium Stadium

Built to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup Final and celebrate the upcoming millennium, the Cardiff Millennium Stadium is now the city’s largest venue and the National Stadium of Wales. Designed by Rod Sheard, the grand stadium seats up to 74,500 and features a fully retractable roof.

Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium is home to the Wales national rugby union team and the Wales national football team, as well as having hosted a number of important sporting events over the years, including the World Rally Championship, the Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain and the 2012 Summer Olympics football events. Boxing, motor sports, cricket and equestrian sports have all been played within the stadium at some point, but the arena is most known as a music venue, with acts like Bon Jovi, U2, Eric Clapton, Rihanna, Madonna and The Rolling Stones all hosting concerts within its walls.
