MANCHESTER, Nov. 9, 2026. Co-op Live, the arena on the Etihad Campus in east Manchester, has 60 events on its calendar running from Nov. 12 to Oct. 29, 2027. Opened in 2024, it is the largest indoor arena in the UK, with room for about 23,500 people.
November alone is busy. Muse play two nights on Nov. 12 and 13, Paul Heaton follows on Nov. 14, and Myles Smith plays Nov. 15. Enter Shikari, Good Charlotte, Don Toliver, organist Anna Lapwood, Phoebe Bridgers and Jungle all appear before the end of the month. December brings Mariah Carey on Dec. 2, Placebo on Dec. 4, Jessie Ware on Dec. 5 and Kasabian on Dec. 19.
Sport and spectacle
The arena is not only for music. The New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs play an NBA game there on Jan. 17, and WWE SmackDown comes in on Jan. 22. Later in the winter, Charli XCX plays Feb. 17 and Rush arrive on March 12, a day before Megadeth.
The venue has been in the news this month. The Bolton News called Stevie Wonder's show marking 50 years of Songs in the Key of Life one to remember, and the Manchester Evening News reports that a Ukraine support concert, Songs of Freedom, will be held at Co-op Live on Feb. 3 and broadcast worldwide.
Getting there
The arena sits next to the Etihad Stadium at 1 Sportcity Way. Etihad Campus tram stop is a short walk away, and several car parks, including the stadium's own, are within a few minutes on foot. Late shows can make the last tram tight, so plan the journey home in advance. The box office opens only on event days.
All entrances are step-free except Entrance C, and accessible seating is on Level 1, with more on Level 3 for some events.
The furthest date listed is Scottish band Texas on Oct. 29, 2027, covered on the Texas at Co-op Live page. The full schedule, seating plan and travel notes are at Co-op Live Manchester tickets and schedule.
