Gary Roden, who also served as an executive director at Co-op Live, stepped down from his position today (April 25)

Within merely days after Peter Kay was forced to postpone his series of performances, the chief executive at Co-op Live in Manchester has handed in his resignation.

"Rebecca Kane Burton has been named interim general manager, effective today. Rebecca is a seasoned veteran of venue management and live entertainment in the UK having served as vice president and general manager of The O2 from 2012-2016 and CEO of LW Theatres from 2016-2021. We are focused on opening Co-op Live," reports the Mirror.

The grand opening of the arena by Bolton comic Peter Kay, scheduled for Tuesday, and a second show on Wednesday were subsequently postponed by a week. The venue is now set to open with The Black Keys on Saturday, April 27, in front of a reduced crowd of 10,000.
