Manchester's new Co-op Live Arena will be the 'greatest music arena ever built' when it opens next year

The boss of east Manchester’s new £365 million arena says it will become one of the busiest and most important music venues in the world on the day it opens.

On the possibility of heartthrob Harry, who is a “passionate” investor in the project, opening the venue himself, Tim said: “It’s his choice, as to what he wants to do, but my guess is in somewhere in the first six months of the building you are going to see a large Harry presence and I think he’s going to want to do something spectacular as this is hometown.

He said Covid had not delayed the project as OVG and Manchester City’s owners the City Football Group, who are co-investors, had benefited from putting in their money up front, securing the financing for the project before the pandemic economic shocks and also from ‘buying out’ virtually all the materials needed for the project at the beginning.

And he revealed how none other than 'The Boss' - rock legend Bruce Springsteen - had a role in shaping its ethos. “When we sat down with our architects for the first time we said ‘build us a hot sweaty hall.’ I want this to be a club, but for 23,500 people. “The largest manager in the business, the largest artist in the business right now, the largest promoter in the business, and they all figured out how to make it a hot, sweaty hall. In front of the stage and back of the stage.
