The Principality Stadium, which has hosted some of the world’s biggest events, is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary as one of Cardiff’s most iconic buildings.

Originally named the Millennium Stadium, the doors opened to a half completed stadium on 26 June 1999 with a historic moment to match. The Wales rugby team sealed a win over the then world Champions South Africa for this first time.

Since then there’s been no shortage of major sporting and music events at the venue.

The 74,000 seater stadium has hosted three Rugby World Cups, a Champions League Final, four Heineken Cup Finals, Six FA Cup finals, 2012 Olympic Games football as well as hosting the world’s biggest artists including Madonna, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Beyonce and the Spice Girls.
