Manchester Co-op Live will be the UK's biggest indoor arena when it opens - but issues with the building have led to a slew of stars postponing or moving their shows. Despite this, US rapper Travis Scott has announced he will perform at the venue in the summer.
Travis Scott has announced a gig at the beleaguered Co-op Live music venue, despite ongoing issues which have led to its opening being postponed. The US rapper will bring his Circus Maximus Tour to the arena in Manchester on 13 July - one of 12 new UK and European dates announced on Tuesday. It comes amid problems which have pushed back the opening of the £365m Co-op Live venue.
'As many of you will know, it's not been the smooth start we had planned for, and I know that has caused a huge amount of disruption and frustration to thousands of people,' he said. The issues began following a test event in April which led to Co-op Live announcing it would have to reschedule Kay's stand-up shows. These were first moved to later dates in April before a second rescheduling to 23 and 24 May. A gig by The Black Keys has also been moved to 15 May.
