The new venue will be the UK's largest arena when it is fully open, but it's so far suffered numerous setbacks with multiple last-minute cancellations leaving fans disappointed.

The new Co-op Live in Manchester has been hit by further problems before it's even fully opened – with tonight's gig being cancelled and this weekend's both postponed. Concertgoers were supposed to have been allowed into the arena at 6.30pm tonight and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, real name Julius Dubose, was due to perform at 8pm, according to the venue's website. However, a post on the venue's social media at 6.40pm told fans the gig had been cancelled.

Just stay tuned for further info.' Co-op Live bosses had sought to reassure fans that tonight's show would go ahead and shared instructions for attendees just hours before the cancellation. With a capacity of 23,500, the Co-op Live will be the UK's largest arena when it's fully open and was built at an estimated cost of £365m. Headaches for the venue became clear last month when the capacity at a test event was reduced with just hours' notice.
