The new Wembley is set to reopen with the FA Cup Final in May 2006, before Bon Jovi play the first concert set on June 11 as part of their UK tour, the Mirror reports. Bon Jovi are set to be the first band to play the new Wembley Stadium when it re-opens next year.

In 2005, the arena underwent a major transformation, closing for 14 months for a £35 million refurbishment. We reopened in April 2006 with a new feature: the 'Square of Fame.' After the COVID-19 pandemic, we were among the first venues to reopen and rebranded as OVO Arena Wembley in 2022.

Wembley is scheduled to reopen "early" in 2006, nearly six years after the old stadium hosted its final competitive match. It will be completed four years later at a cost of £757 million, mainly from the private sector. In 1998 the stadium was estimated to cost £320 million and be ready by 2002.

The reopening - with the 2007 Cup Final on 19 May - will bring to an end the England team's four-year experiment of playing games in grounds across the country, which has proved hugely popular. The stadium is now almost ready. The seats and pitch are in place, and only some small-scale 'finishing-off' still remains to be done.
