A support group for survivors of the Manchester Arena terror attack said 'people are anxious' about Co-op Live
A support network run by survivors of the Manchester Arena attack have urged Co-op Live bosses to postpone concerts until the building is fully ready.
On Wednesday night , Co-op Live was due to reopen with a show from A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. However, the show was postponed just as queues were outside the venue waiting to get inside. The venue said a 'piece of air conditioning unit' fell from the ceiling during a soundcheck. As a result, the shows from Olivia Rodrigo scheduled for this Friday and Saturday were also postponed with no new date announced yet. Shows from Keane, on Sunday, and Take That, who will play four shows next week are currently still set to take place.
Posting on social media, the support group wrote: “Look at the demographics of your audience this weekend. People are getting anxious as if they weren’t anxious enough already especially with the location. Postpone the concerts until you are ready.”
