Legendary comedian Peter Kay will open Manchester’s state of the art venue with his current record breaking tour when it first welcomes fans in April. The 23,500-seat arena is the largest in the UK and will offer an unparalleled fan experience that will set a new benchmark for large venues around the world.
Kay will perform at Co-op Live on 23 April 2024 to kickstart a new chapter in the city’s revered cultural story, having delighted fans across the UK for well over two decades as one of most successful stand-up comedians of all time. The venue’s unique bowl design promises a fittingly intimate environment, bringing fans closer to the artist than at other arenas of equivalent size.
Gary Roden, Executive Director and General Manager, Co-op Live, says: "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.”
