Rock band Elbow, who hail from Manchester, are set to open the £365 million venue on May 14.
The troubled Co-op Live arena in Manchester said it has completed an inspection and will open with a performance from Elbow after a string of delays.
Kay, who was meant to be the “first artist in the world to perform at Manchester Co-op Live” according to promotional posters, had his shows postponed twice as the venue was still not ready to open.The venue then planned for US rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie to open the arena on May 1, however it was called off just over an hour before his performance with fans queuing outside, due to the ventilation system becoming detached.
“Following the incident in the bowl on May 1 2024, an inspection and verification report was undertaken by SES subcontractors,” a Co-op Live statement said on Friday.
