Plenty of people eagerly anticipate watching their beloved performers in concert annually or supporting their favourite sports team. Yet, for one woman, it’s a regular weekly event thanks to her living arrangements. That’s because her flat sits directly adjacent to Wembley Stadium in London.
As most are aware, the venue plays host to an enormous range of major international sporting fixtures, music gigs, and prominent entertainment showcases. As Europe’s second-biggest stadium boasting a 90,000-seat capacity, it functions as the home ground for English football and a leading venue for worldwide touring musicians. The woman, who goes by ‘Smallgirlrealbigworld’ on Instagram, frequently uses her platform to document her experience of living next to the stadium with her 5,000 followers.
In one of her recent reels, she disclosed which massive concerts she’s been able to hear, purely down to her location.
The first will trigger envy amongst viewers seeing it is none other than American superstar Taylor Swift.

Many will know it is exceptionally hard to obtain Taylor Swift tickets through official means. Due to staggering demand that vastly exceeds venue capacities, securing a ticket typically demands a combination of rigorous pre-registration, particular presale eligibility, and enormous quantities of fortune.
So, having it just beyond your window is remarkably fortunate. The roster also featured South Korean sensation BLACKPINK, iconic performer Bruce Springsteen, American vocalist Lana del Rey, punk legends Green Day, Oasis, the Capital Summertime Ball, Linkin Park, Guns N’ Roses, Coldplay, Dua Lipa and rock titans AC/DC.
The woman posted: “A list of the concerts I’ve heard since living next to Wembley Stadium, and so many more to add this year!”
Social media users adored the revelation, with the post amassing over 66,000 likes.

A third contributed: “Love me a bit of AD/DC.”
Meanwhile, someone else remarked: “Such a cool party trick!’Do you wanna listen to some music?’, *opens the windows! Instant live music.”
Another follower enquired which performance stood out most, prompting her response: “All! But the crowd that surprised me the most was Linkin Park! The fans were so loud.”
One user observed: “This sounds amazing and like a nightmare all at the same time.”
The woman countered: “It’ honestly amazing, and if I want quiet the doors and windows are basically soundproof so it’s the best of both worlds.”
Another curious commenter questioned: “Have you ever been to Wembley for a gig? ,” to which the woman responded: “Yes! I went to Dua Lipa and Coldplay. I’ve been to more football matches though! Love the atmosphere.”
