American singer Sabrina Carpenter is in discussions to become the youngest solo female artist to headline Wembley Stadium, with plans to perform at the iconic venue during a tour next summer. Carpenter, currently 27, will turn 28 in May 2027 and is expected to play Wembley before the end of August that year, making her younger than any solo female artist to headline the stadium.
If confirmed, her performance would set a new record, edging out Rihanna who holds the current milestone. Rihanna was 28 years and four months old when she performed at Wembley in 2016. Taylor Swift previously headlined the stadium at age 28 and six months during her Reputation Tour in 2018.
Carpenter’s anticipated Wembley appearance would continue a tradition of notable solo female performers at the venue. Madonna was just over 29 when she played three shows at the original Wembley Stadium in 1987. Adele was a month older than 28 during her 2017 headlining concert, while Dua Lipa was nearly 30 when she performed there last summer.
Though Carpenter released her debut album *Eyes Wide Open* in 2015, she rose to wider prominence only recently with her 2024 hit single "Espresso." Industry insiders describe her rise as rapid, noting heightened fan interest following the release of her seventh album, *Man’s Best Friend*, in 2025.
A source close to Carpenter’s team indicated that a major UK tour is currently under negotiation, with Wembley expected to be a key date. The tour, slated for summer 2027, would mark a major milestone in Carpenter’s career as she continues to build her profile following her role supporting Swift on the 2024 Eras Tour. No official confirmation of tour dates has yet been announced.
