When it comes to iconic UK concert venues, few can rival Knebworth House.

Some of the world’s biggest acts have played there, including Elton John, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney.

Freddie Mercury did his last concert with Queen at the venue in 1986, while Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson staged a World War One aerial dogfight above the site before taking to the stage in 2014.

Oasis famously played two nights at Knebworth in 1996, performances later immortalised in a live album and 2021 documentary.

Robbie Williams broke concert attendance records when 375,000 fans came to watch him over three nights in 2003.

The gigs were so significant to him that Knebworth features prominently in his biopic Better Man, where he is portrayed as a CGI chimpanzee.

In the film, midway through performing Let Me Entertain You, the singer uses a sword to violently battle an army of armed chimpanzees dressed as past and future versions of himself.

That didn’t happen in reality; he actually ended the show with Angels.
