12,500 capacity.

It's pretty much the perfect size for them for an indoor gig. They're not going to sell out a place like MSG especially since it's in the US.

Obviously they can get bigger crowds at festivals/outdoor stadiums, but a modern indoor stadium like Wembley can help keep the atmosphere confined and let them have all the visuals they want. The Manchester Arena is a bigger capacity but they'd probably struggle to sell out there because it's not London.

"Greatest Show On Earth" worked at Wembley though:

Didn’t realize Wembley was indoors ( thought it was the football stadium) ... pretty amazing that they only play smaller venues ( theaters, ballrooms) ~2000 capacity in the states.

I think it's technically called by some anonymous electricity company sponsor name these days, it changes often. But it's in the same part of town as the football stadium so people have always called it "Wembley Arena" while the football one is "Wembley Stadium"

Have tickets to see them on October 1st along with In This Moment on October 2nd lmao. This will be my 4th Nightwish show. They always put on a great performance especially in the tiny venues that they do here.

What?? Not too shabby for 2 nights work! The shows were awesome!

Great to see them tackle “ Planet Hell” and “Last Ride of the Day” with Troy doing a good job. I thought he was better the second night.

What a night.. I’m watching Nightwish while watching the Islanders v Bruins.. doesn’t get much better than that!
