Co-op Live: Watch- We get a first look inside Manchester’s brand new £365 million music venue

The countdown to the opening of Co-op Live is almost over, and ahead of its doors opening to the public- we got a sneak peak inside. The 23,500 capacity venue will welcome a wide variety of acts to its stage over the coming months. 

The venue is located near to the Etihad Campus, where it becomes the new neighbour of Manchester City FC. First up at Co-op Live is a double header of performances from Bolton comedian Peter Kay. 

Once the opening events are over, the gigs will come thick and fast for Co-op Live. Huge names including Nicki Minaj, Liam Gallagher, The Killers, Stevie Nicks and many more are due to play in 2024.  Tickets for all of the gigs announced are on sale through the Co-op Live website. We’ve also rounded up a full list of every act performing at the new venue.
