12 of England's best football experiences and stadium tours

The England Lionesses might not be bringing home the trophy from the 2023 Women's World Cup, but with the men's Euro 2024 tournament less than a year away, you can celebrate the 'pride' (pun intended!) of England by digging deeper into the roots of the beautiful game. From having a pint in the birthplace of modern football to stadium tours and unique experiences, here's our roundup of great ways to celebrate English football.

The Freemasons Arms - the pub where the national sport began

Covent Garden, London

rs3318_freemasons_arms_london_covent_garden_16-mpr.jpg

Football may be a global phenomenon nowadays, but the sport's roots can be traced back to this Victorian tavern just off of Covent Garden. The Freemasons Arms has been serving pints and great food since the 1800s and is noted as the place where the English Football Association sat down and laid out the rules of the sport that would grow to become a worldwide favourite. Pay tribute to this in the Freemasons Arms' downstairs bar, packed with football memorabilia and live match screenings.

Explore England's footballing history

National Football Museum, Manchester

Found in the heart of Manchester, the National Football Museum celebrates the history of the national sport, while also adding exhibitions and displays based on present-day successes and glories. With collections focused on everything from the history of the Football League to England's 1966 World Cup success, all packed with worn match kits, trophies and interactive displays donated to the museum over time, there's plenty to see and do on a day trip to the museum.

Take on the Dare Skywalk at Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

608117-56.jpg

When Tottenham opened the doors to their brand new White Hart Lane located stadium, it came with a major surprise for both Spurs and adventure fans. Built into the stadium is The Dare Skywalk, a one-of-a-kind attraction that sees you climb up onto the stadium's roof above the pitch, around the golden cockerel statue at the apex (offering unbelievable views across the capital), and back down to solid ground for refreshments in a whirlwind 90 minutes.

If you're feeling extra brave, you can now finish your skywalk in a less traditional fashion. The Edge is a controlled jump from the stadium's roof – the first experience of this kind in the UK – and sees the bravest skywalkers leap from the catwalk onto the stand below (with a harness, of course).

Enjoy a slice of history at Villa Park

Villa Park, Birmingham

Aston Villa has played its home games at Villa Park since 1897, a site which was once a Victorian amusement park developed in the former grounds of Aston Hall, a grand Jacobean stately home with gardens dating back to the mid-17th century. Learn more about this historic stadium, explore the Villains' dressing room and walk through the tunnel to the pitch on a stadium tour.

Eat, sleep and breathe football at Old Trafford

Old Trafford, Manchester

One of the most iconic stadiums in the world, Old Trafford, has been the home of Manchester United since 1910; get a unique perspective at the UK's biggest club ground on a stadium tour. You'll get to walk down the tunnel to the famous pitch and take a seat in the home dugouts, while outside the grounds, you can grab a snap with the United Trinity statue, featuring United legends Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Denis Law.

Make a night of it and book a stay at Hotel Football Old Trafford, which has unmatched views over Old Trafford. The hotel is the brainchild of several members of the Class of 92, a world-renowned group of United youth players including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Philip Neville.

Get your picture taken with the Premier League trophy

Etihad Stadium, Manchester

Pay a visit to the Premier League champions at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City. First opened in 2003, the Etihad has already played host to some of the Premier League's most iconic moments. Relive those memories for yourself on a full tour of the stadium. See how club superstars like Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling prepare on game days; take part in a press conference with a virtual Pep Guardiola, and have your picture taken with the Premier League Trophy.

Visit a founding member of the Football League

Goodison Park, Liverpool

Take a tour of Everton's club grounds and discover more about the blue half of Liverpool. The club also offers the Legends Experience; visit some of the newly refurbished hospitality lounges; find out what goes on behind-the-scenes during a match day, and see the directors box before heading into the home and away changing rooms. You'll also have the chance to emerge from the tunnel to the sound of Z Cars and take a seat in the manager's chair in the home dugout.

Celebrate Liverpool's newest legends at Anfield

Anfield, Liverpool

vb34134033-anfield.jpg

Get the ultimate Anfield experience with a stadium tour and museum combo ticket. On this unique experience, you'll be able to see the pitch and the Kop end from multiple angles, as well as walk beneath the iconic ‘This Is Anfield’ sign in the tunnel and imagine yourself as manager of the Reds by taking Jurgen Klopp's seat. Afterwards, learn more about the history of the club and its legendary players in The Liverpool FC Story, an interactive on-site museum, now featuring a new exhibition called The Boom Room – a celebration of Liverpool's historic 18/19 season and the players and staff who made it possible.

See London's biggest collection of football silverware

Stamford Bridge, London

Pay a visit to Stamford Bridge in South West London, home of Chelsea, aka The Blues. See match-worn items and celebrate the club's history in the Chelsea FC Museum, before following in your favourite players' footsteps onto the pitch. Led by expert tour guides who have an incredible amount of trivia and knowledge of the club’s 116-year history, this is sure to be a memorable experience for Chelsea fans of all ages.

Tour the home of the finals

Wembley Stadium, London

The iconic Wembley Stadium is a must for any football fan, especially with its hosting role in the closing stages of Euro 2020 and the Women's EURO 2022. Built on the grounds of 'Old Wembley', this 90,000-seater stadium is the largest in the UK and is a worldwide icon in the worlds of sport and music. Take a tour of the grounds and peek behind the scenes, exploring areas usually reserved for football superstars. 

Enjoy a personal VIP Legend experience in North London

Emirates Stadium, London

Dive into the rich history of an iconic North London club at the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal. Feel like a superstar as you tour the Directors Box and the Home and Away Dressing Rooms before walking through the Players Tunnel out onto the majestic Emirates pitch. Make your tour extra special with the VIP Legend Experience; journey through the stadium with an Arsenal legend, offering dressing room tales and backroom anecdotes. You'll get the chance to ask questions and spend one on one time with your hero whilst dining on Michelin star quality food in the stadium's elite Diamond Club.

Go on an interactive journey at Molineux

Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton

608489-56.jpg

Home of Wolverhampton Wanderers since 1889, the interactive museum at Molineux takes visitors on a journey through the early years of modern football and the club’s continued success and growth into the modern era. In addition, regular stadium tours offer a unique perspective on the first stadium built primarily for a football league club in England.

The biggest gigs and tours to look forward to in 2023

From reunited legends to rising stars, 2023’s live calendar is jam-packed with unmissable appointments

Times are tough right now, there’s no denying that. But there’s also no denying the healing power of music – especially going to witness your favourite artist or new obsession live. Luckily 2023 is already jam-packed with massive tours and big gigs to help brighten up our lives, whether that’s Arctic Monkeys stepping up to stadiums, rap’s newest star GloRilla showing her mettle, or reunited legends like Blur and Pulp giving us some good old nostalgia. Here are the biggest gigs and tours to look forward to this year.

• Arctic Monkeys

Dates announced: Arctic Monkeys ’ 2023 dates start early, ringing in the New Year in Australia. From there, they’ll tour Asia and Europe, before coming home to the UK for a massive stadium tour and returning to the US.

Why you should go: To witness a live show as dazzling as the mirrorball the band performed around on their 2022 tour. Something tells us the grandiose strings of latest album ‘The Car’ will sound absolutely majestic in the humongous venues the Monkeys will be playing over the next 12 months.

Dates announced: Elton John starts his year in Australia and New Zealand before returning to the UK and Europe for a  Glasto finale .

Why you should go: These are quite literally your very last opportunities to see one of pop’s most iconic and unique artists. Sure, loads of acts say they’re quitting touring and then have a big change of heart a few years later, but you don’t want to take the risk of missing out on Elton.

• Red Hot Chili Peppers

Recommended

Dates announced: Red Hot Chili Peppers will tour New Zealand, Australia and Asia in the first two months of the year, moving on to North America in spring, and Europe and the UK in summer.

Why you should go: They’re pros at the big stadium spectacular – they’ve been doing it for long enough by now. They’re also bringing some huge names with them in support, from Post Malone to The Strokes and Iggy Pop . Not bad!

• Harry Styles

Dates announced: After three rescheduled LA dates in January, Harry Styles will head to Australia in February, continuing on to Asia and Europe, arriving in the UK in May.

Why you should go: The ‘Love On Tour’ tour might seem never-ending, but even if you’ve been multiple times, it’s still a whole lot of fun to go again. Enjoy the conga lines to ‘Treat People With Kindness’ and make friends with your seatmates as you bellow out Harry’s modern pop anthems together. Sounds lovely.

Dates announced: The iconic British girl group will head down under in February before playing a one-off London date in September.

Why you should go: These dates are a continuation of the original Sugababes line-up’s reunion – Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donagh – and will see the women celebrating the 25th anniversary of the group. They’ve been through a lot of ups and downs in that time, but this feels like a perfect way to mark the milestone.

Dates announced: US tour begins January 27.

Why you should go: GloRilla is the hottest new hip-hop talent in the game and it’s not going to be long before she’s filling massive venues around the world. Get down to this tour and say you saw her first – and enjoy her mix of femininity and boldness in her infectious songs.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Dates announced: US leg begins February 1; the tour arrives in Europe on April 28, with UK dates from May 30.

Why you should go: There’s been some (deserved) uproar about very expensive tickets, but if you can find a pass at a reasonable price, Springsteen will certainly give you value for money – his gigs are known to stretch for hours, rattling through the big hits and the fan favourites far longer than most acts would perform for.

Dates announced: US leg runs from February to August, with UK dates nestled in the middle in April.

Why you should go: To hear the brilliant new songs from upcoming album ‘This Is Why’ among all the best cuts from their back catalogue. Plus, it’s been way too long since Hayley Williams and co went on a proper tour – five years, in fact.

• Caroline Polachek

Dates announced: The UK, Europe and North America are all on Caroline Polachek ’s schedule, beginning in the former in February.

Why you should go: The alt-pop star’s live shows have been described as a work of art and she always packs surprises into her sets – like at her last London gig, when she was joined by Croydon’s Trinity Girls Choir on ‘Billions’.

Self Esteem 

Dates announced: UK tour kicks off in February.

Why you should go: This tour feels like a victory lap for Self Esteem , who arguably has had the best last couple of years out of all of us. Her album ‘Prioritise Pleasure’ has constantly wowed fans and critics alike, while her live show has been praised as one of the best in recent memory. Give yourself another chance to see why it’s so brilliant before she inevitably pops off to come up with her next mind-blowing record.

Dates announced: US tour kicks off February 21.

Why you should go: Because SZA ’s new album ‘SOS’ is a very late contender for Album Of The Year and, had it been released earlier, would certainly have been nearing the top of a lot of lists. If you need any more incentive (you shouldn’t), she’s also bringing along Omar Apollo in support to add some extra greatness.

Dates announced: The Doncaster rock’n’roller will head out on a world tour, beginning in the UK in February before hitting Europe and North America.

Why you should go: Yungblud ’s gigs are renowned for being inclusive, euphoric and theatrical celebrations where you can let go, be yourself and find a community of kindred spirits. We could all do with a bit more of that energy in 2023 so get down to a show and make the most of it.

Dates announced: Europe tour begins February, with UK dates from March before continuing onto North America.

Why you should go: Lizzo shows are the ultimate upper – a feel good celebration of life from one of the most infectious personalities in music. Grab your mates and make sure you get there in time for “bad bitch o’clock”.

Dates announced: The ladies of BLACKPINK will take their BORN PINK tour across Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand in the first half of the year, before heading to London in July to headline BST Hyde Park.

Why you should go: This K-pop girl group know how to put on a show , from hi-tech, futuristic VTs to set the mood between each phase of the concert, to artful and flashy stage production. The songs are equally as good – by the time you leave the venue, you’ll have several jostling for place as that day’s earworm.

Dates announced: Blink ’s return begins in South America on March 11, before heading to North America in May and the UK and Europe in September.

Why you should go: It’s the pop-punk icons’ first tour with Tom DeLonge since he left the band in 2015 – aka a massive deal. There’s also a new album on the way, so this won’t just be a big nostalgia trip.

• Taylor Swift

Dates announced: US leg begins March 17; international dates TBA.

Why you should go: Taylor Swift ’s 2023 tour is dubbed ‘The Eras Tour’ and, while it’s not entirely clear exactly how she’s going to honour each of her past albums yet, it’s guaranteed to be the perfect chance to celebrate the many highs of her brilliant career so far (if you can beat Ticketmaster). Plus, the support bill in the US is stacked, with Paramore , Phoebe Bridgers , Gracie Abrams , Haim , Girl In Red , and many more along for the ride.

The Walkmen 

Dates announced: US tour begins April 24; one further festival date confirmed so far at Portugal’s Paredes de Coura Festival.

Why you should go: Sure, New York in the early noughties had The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol , but it also had The Walkmen , a band who often get left out of top billing when talking about that much-romanticised scene. Take one listen to the indie disco classic ‘The Rat’ and tell us that’s fair, and then go book your tickets to their reunion tour.

Dates announced: The tour begins in Europe in April, heading to the UK for two sets at Download Festival in June, before moving onto North America.

Why you should go: As if you need a reason to go and see Metallica , the titans of metal. But just in case: they’re masters of their craft – aka big, bruising, headbang-worthy riffs – and have a discography of seemingly endless anthems for you to get lost in the moshpit to.

Dates announced: The Italian rockers will tour Europe across spring with a massive London gig at The O2 in May.

Why you should go: In this day and age, it’s rare for Eurovision contestants to carve out careers post-Song Contest that aren’t short-lived or derided as novelty. But Måneskin are living proof that it is doable, so long as you have the tunes and the charisma to deserve more than 15 minutes of fame. The four-piece have both in bucketloads, as you can bear witness to on this tour.

Dates announced: An intimate UK tour in May.

Why you should go: Foals are now one of the biggest bands in the UK and so the opportunity to see them in tiny venues is a rare chance we must grab when it’s presented to us. Dance to ‘My Number’ on the sticky floor of a club in spring, then celebrate their ascent as they headline Reading & Leeds in the summer.

Dates announced: The UK and Ireland-only dates begin in May, continuing til July.

Why you should go: They’re back, baby! Just under a decade since their last live performances, Pulp have reunited once more and are taking their show back on the road to liven up our summer. Expect all the classics, but no Steve Mackey – the bassist has confirmed he won’t join the band on tour.

Dates announced: Select European festival dates woven between three headline shows in Dublin and London this June.

Why you should go: When Blur first reunited in 2009, they instantly blew away any fears that the band might not be the same after years apart. This latest reunion should be no different and the members seem in good spirits about it, too. “We really love playing these songs and thought it’s about time we did it again,” Damon Albarn said when the gigs were announced.

Moldy Peaches 

Dates announced: One London show and appearances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Madrid

Why you should go: It’s been 20 years since anti-folk icons The Moldy Peaches last performed in Europe. Although they announced their reunion with the slogan “Once a Moldy Peach, always a Moldy Peach”, who knows when this opportunity to see New York underground royalty will come around again?

Joni Mitchell 

Dates announced: George, WA, Gorge Amphitheatre (June 10).

Why you should go: Joni Mitchell might be playing only one date next year but you should move heaven and earth to try and make it. Why? The last time she held a full concert was 23 years ago and it’s unlikely she’s about to hit the road for even a handful more dates at this point, so it could be your only chance to see the bonafide legend live.

Pet Shop Boys 

Dates announced: The UK and European tour runs from June to July.

Why you should go: This is Pet Shop Boys ’ ‘Dreamworld – The Greatest Hits Live’ tour so you’re basically assured that you’re going to hear all of the biggest and best songs in their inimitable arsenal.

Dates announced: London, Finsbury Park (June 23)

Why you should go: It’s Jamie T ’s biggest headline show to date and bound to be an absolute riot. This is an artist who can do indie disco bangers, poignant, softer (if booze-soaked) cuts, and everything in between and make it seem effortless.

The Weeknd 

Dates announced: UK and Europe tour begins in June before covering Latin America.

Why you should go: This huge stadium tour will cover both of The Weeknd ’s two latest albums – ‘After Hours’ and ‘Dawn FM’ – taking you inside the sci-fi-tinged world of both masterpieces.

Dates announced: Stormzy will take over one day of London’s All Points East, curating a special ‘This Is What We Mean Day’.

Why you should go: The whole day will be Stormzy’s vision – something he’s already proved countless times is a great thing. The line-up has yet to be announced but expect to discover exhilarating new talent, big names making surprise appearances and, of course, it all to be topped off by a headline set from Big Mike himself.

The Postal Service & Death Cab For Cutie

Dates announced: US tour kicks off September 8

Why you should go: Ben Gibbard is pulling double duty on the tour, fronting both The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie . The tour itself is a celebration of two albums – the former’s ‘Give Up’ and the latter’s ‘Transatlanticism’, and you’ll get to see both played in full. What more could you ask for?

JOE ELLIOTT Confirms DEF LEPPARD To Bring THE STADIUM TOUR To The UK In 2023

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott has confirmed The Stadium Tour will head to the UK in 2023.

The Stadium Tour is scheduled to start on 16th June in Atlanta, GA.

Last week Joe hinted at the tour heading to the UK on his weekly Planet Rock radio show.

It was unclear if he meant an arena tour or The Stadium Tour itself (which kicks off in 80 days).

In a new interview with Rolling Stone Joe has seemingly confirmed he was indeed talking about The Stadium Tour coming to the UK in 2023.

This would mark the band's first UK shows since the 2018 Hysteria tour and the 2019 Download Festival headline show.

With the new 'Diamond Star Halos' album due out in late May it seems likely the tour may be announced and dates confirmed at that time.

The December 2018 tour was announced in January of the same year giving almost a full 12 months of ticket on sale time.

As for when the UK/Irish (and European) shows would happen it seems unlikely any outdoor shows would take place before at least May.

As for possible venues (in London at least) Wembley Stadium and London Stadium would seem the most likely.

The new Wembley Stadium was previously played (minus Vivian) in September 2014 when a medley was performed ahead of an NFL International Series game.

The Stadium Tour 2023 In The UK

Joe mentioned that the tour could last up to three years and will travel "worldwide".

Almost certainly a reference to his words last week when speaking about UK shows.

The only previous headline show in a UK stadium was of course in June 1993 at the now demolished Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield.

Def Leppard played a co-headline tour in arenas with Motley Crue in December 2011 but have not previously toured here with Poison or Joan Jett.

3 Year Tour

The article states that the tour will last three years.

This suggests that more stadiums will be played in North America in 2024 and possibly also in 2023 alongside the UK dates.

Worldwide Stadium Tour

The Weeknd has announced a special end-of-summer show at Wembley Stadium for his highly anticipated ‘After Hours ‘Til Dawn’ 2023 tour. This latest date is scheduled for Friday, August 18, 2023 and will be a night to celebrate this incredible 29-date stadium tour run. Tickets for The Weeknd’s Wembley Stadium date will go on sale starting Friday, December 16 at 12pm local time. All tickets and additional info will be available at the artist’s official website .

Elsewhere in The Weeknd news, Abel Tesfaye’s “Can’t Feel My Face” was officially certified Diamond last week . This is the artist’s fourth Diamond single (following “The Hills,” “Starboy,” and “Blinding Lights”), making him the third solo artist and fourth artist overall to reach the achievement. The single is from The Weeknd’s second studio album Beauty Behind the Madness and was his first single to reach No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

As Bianca Gracie explains in her feature on the track , “‘Can’t Feel My Face’ may have been the third single picked from Beauty Behind the Madness , but it remains the biggest. Gone was the murky, chilling production from The Weeknd’s mixtape days. For “Can’t Feel My Face,” The Weeknd called upon pop music’s legendary hitmaker Max Martin and Ali Payami (best known for his Grammy-winning work on Taylor Swift’s 1989). The two producers created a bouncy, vibrant melody that drew inspiration from one of The Weeknd’s biggest heroes, Michael Jackson .”

“‘He’s everything to me, so you’re going to hear it in my music,’ The Weeknd told the LA Times in 2016. “ Off The Wall was the album that inspired me to sing. It helped me find my [voice] … “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough,” I kept singing that, and I found my falsetto.”

THE WEEKND’S AFTER HOURS TIL DAWN TOUR 2023 UK TOUR DATES ARE AS FOLLOWS: Sat Jun 10 – Manchester, UK – Etihad Stadium Fri Jul 7 – London, UK– London Stadium Sat Jul 8 – London, UK– London Stadium Fri Aug 18 – London, UK– Wembley Stadium connected by EE (New date).

Stadium Golf Tour announces full UK schedule

11.46am 14th April 2023 - Sponsorship & Events

Stadium Golf Tour , a new golf entertainment format that transforms sport stadia into 9-hole ‘golf courses’, has unveiled a schedule of four further UK venues on top of the previously announced even t at Twickenham Stadium in South West London from June 8-11.

In addition to staging an event at the home of England Rugby, the unique format is also teeing off at Sheffield United’s Hillsborough stadium from May 25-28; Leicester City’s King Power stadium from June 1-4; Crystal Palace FC’s Selhurst Park stadium from June 15-18; and West Ham’s London Stadium from October 12-15,

At Selhurst Park, the experience offers players the chance to enjoy a golf challenge which sees them teeing off from all four stands of the stadium aiming for the greens on the hallowed turf. Each hole will be uniquely designed, with players striking balls from the Main stand, followed by tee-offs from the Holmesdale Road and Arthur Wait Stand before ending from the Whitehorse Lane Stand.  

The courses, designed for all skill levels, should take about 90 minutes to complete, and feature its own innovative self-scoring system ranging from eagle to triple bogey, depending on how close your ball lands to the hole. There are cups for each hole, so a hole-in-one is possible.

Players can then head for the ‘Clubhouse’, where more driving, putting, and chipping challenges are on offer. Hospitality and refreshments will also be available for guests.

To buy tickets, which start at £90pp, visit www.stadiumgolftour.com .

New Zealand Cricket chief executive Scott Weenink said there were already indications that the three matches against Brendon McCullum's team would attract the same sort of bumper attendances witnessed for the two home tests against Australia in February and March.

"In the past, there's often been a lot of talk in New Zealand about the popularity of Test cricket - without that translating into ticket sales or viewership numbers," he said.

Having won just three of their 10 matches since the 2023-25 edition of the competition began, England require a major turnaround to have a chance of reaching next year's final at Lord's.
