Was at the ACDC gig yesterday, but whilst having a post gig beer we got into a discussion on which bands could actually fill the stadium.

We came up with the obvious,

U2
ACDC
Rolling Stones
Foo Fighters
One Direction ( although I don't consider them a band ).

How many others are there ?

These 2 cropped up and we all agreed that Floyd could but were undecided about the Who.

I saw The Killers there last year (or the year before). It clearly meant a lot to them to have been able to play there.

They even wrote a song just about Wembley for the occasion that was perfectly pitched for a Brit audience.

I forgot how they name checked many of those who had preceded them.

Taylor Swift
Red Hot Chilli Peppers

And maybe Rihanna

The only time I've been to Wembley since the rebuild

In mitigation, I wasn't going, but one of Mrs P's friends dropped out at the last minute so I went rather than see £85 go to waste. Olly Murs was there too and personally thought we has better than Robbie.
