Olivia Rodrigo announces UK tour dates, including Manchester’s Co-op Live – how to get tickets

Olivia Rodrigo has been announced as the latest act to headline a show at the Co-op Live Arena, which is due to open its doors in April 2024.

The global pop star will be taking to the stage in Manchester on Friday 3 May and Saturday 4 May, 2024, as part of her Guts tour to promote her new album of the same name. Outside of Manchester, she will also be playing Dublin, Birmingham, London and Glasgow.

To get tickets for the Manchester dates, fans must register on the Co-op Live arena website by Sunday 17 September.

Released on 8 September, Guts is the follow up to her 2021 hit debut Sour, which went 4x Platinum. Most people will recognise her from her smash hit breakout single ‘Good 4 U,’ but the singer got her start on the Disney channel’s Bizaardvark, followed by a stint as Nini Salazar-Roberts on the Disney+ series ‘High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.’

Olivia Rodrigo is only fifth act to be announced at the Co-op Live arena, joining the Jonas Brothers, Niall Horan, Eric Clapton and Keane.

The £365million arena, which is currently under construction at Etihad Campus, will feature an innovative bowl design, large standing floor, and state-of-the-art acoustics. As well announcing its first acts to perform there, the Co-op Live arena has also launched a recruitment campaign with 2,000 job opportunities available.

How to get tickets

Tickets will be available to purchase online via Ticketmaster and anyone wishing to go must first register for tickets. This is to prevent block bots, reduce resale, and get more tickets directly into the hands of fans.

Registration for tickets closes on 17 September.

They go on sale for Co-op members presale on Wednesday 20 September 2024 at 10:00, with general registration sale from 15:00 on Thursday 21 September, 2023.

Full information on how to register for tickets and become a Co-op member, can be found on the Co-op Live website.

Remi Wolf will be supporting Olivia Rodrigo at Manchester and the rest of the UK dates.
