Peter Kay at Co-op Live: Tickets remain available for shows pushed back by new arena - how to buy

The comedian will now be playing the first two events at Manchester's new arena.

Tickets remain available for comedian Peter Kay’s two nights at Manchester’s new arena Co-op Live. However, he will no longer be the first official act to open the venue.

This comes as Co-op Live announced that the dates will be pushed back to ensure finishing touches within the arena can be sorted in time. Peter Kay will now perform at Co-op Live on April 29 and 30, instead of April 24 and 24 as originally announced.

Gary Roden, Executive Director and General Manager, Co-op Live, said: "When you think of Manchester, it’s hard not to think of Peter Kay. He embodies what this city is about, and to have him headlining Co-op Live is tremendously exciting. We’re creating an arena that is truly part of the community around it, and having Peter as our opening act is a perfect reminder of that.”
