The Results Are In: Wembley's Greatest Event Revealed

• 27th Jun 2011

Fans have crowned Muse's H.A.A.R.P Tour as Wembley's Greatest Event in a public poll that saw over 55,000 people vote for their favourite ever Wembley moment.

Selling over ten million albums worldwide and critically acclaimed as one of the best live acts of our time, Muse's 2007 tour beat off stiff competition to receive the crown.

Facing heavyweight competition from the likes of the late great Henry Cooper, Muse secured victory over the likes of Live Aid, England's 1966 World Cup victory and Foo Fighters.

Second in the poll came Michael Jackson's 1988 Bad Tourand Queen's 1986 'Live At Wembley' came third.

Take That's Circus Tour in 2009 and England's World Cup Triumph over Germany in 1966 came forth and fifth respectively in the poll.

Melvin Benn, Chairman of Wembley Stadium, commented: “Some of the greatest events over the last 50 years have taken place at Wembley Stadium. Now the Greatest Event campaign has allowed fans to look back and remember some of the most memorable moments of the past and celebrate them alongside some of our more recent moments in sport and music entertainment.

“Whilst all Wembley's events have been special, Muse are very deserving winners for their 2007 Wembley concerts which were nothing short of spectacular. For me it is fitting that a band widely acknowledged for being one of the best live acts in the world has now been recognised for putting on the Greatest Event at Wembley Stadium, one of the best live entertainment venues in the world.”
