Music heavyweights forced to shift Wembley gigs
31/03/2006 - 14:22:47The Rolling Stones, Robbie Williams, Bon Jovi and Take That have been forced to move concerts from the new Wembley Stadium because of building delays.
The Rolling Stones' shows on August 20 and 22 will take place at Twickenham rugby stadium instead.
Bon Jovi's gigs on June 10 and 11 and Take That's concerts on June 24 and 25 will happen at the Milton Keynes Bowl. There has been no announcement yet about new plans for Robbie Williams' five Wembley dates in September.
A statement from Wembley said: "No major events will take place at the stadium for the remainder of this year."
The Rolling Stones' European tour promoter John Giddings said it was a "national disgrace" that England could not build its national stadium on time.
