Pals Angel McCrane and Molly Morrisey were queuing up outside when Co-op Live cancelled its opening for the third time, as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's show was pulled at the last minute. But tonight the 18-year-olds were back in Manchester for the rapper's rescheduled gig at the AO Arena - and were just relieved it was actually going ahead.
It was the latest setback in the opening of £365m Eastlands arena, which had already had to postpone two Peter Kay shows, and then forced to reschedule two Olivia Rodrigo shows which were due to take place last night and tonight. "We live 30 minutes away so it wasn’t that bad but the people behind us in the queue had travelled three hours."
Siblings Rokih Simms, 21, and his sister Christiana, 29, were also near the front of the queue when Wednesday’s gig was cancelled. Rokih said: "They told us about 15 minutes before opening. Then there were a few days of uncertainty." Kayleigh, 21, was on her way from Glasgow to the gig and was just 20 minutes from the venue when she heard it was cancelled. She said: "I paid £60 to fill up my car to drive down. I was gutted but it is what it is. It's good that they’ve done a quick turn around to get it to here."
