We also staffed the Wembley Stadium for Grammy winning British rock band Coldplay and their “Music of the Spheres” World Tour in August 2022. Stadium director Liam Boylan said, “to see many famous acts in the one space was truly unique … it has been a memorable, record-breaking few months and a huge thanks must go out to everyone who helped pull it all together.” We here at Teamwork HC extend our gratitude out to our loyal staff, who always ensure that the events are ran smoothly.
