Manchester AO Arena 'preparing to host' cancelled 'Co-Flop' gigs

US rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie has moved his cancelled show for this Saturday at the crisis-hit Manchester Co-op Live to the city's rival AO Arena.

A Boogie Wit da Hoodie's rescheduled show has been rearranged to be at the AO Arena on Saturday, the artist confirmed on X, formerly Twitter, this evening, confirming what two sources earlier told the Manchester Evening News. Workmen on site at the Co-op Live Arena today as efforts are made to finally get the beleaguered venue openA source told the M.E.N. that 'all aspects' of staffing are currently being covered at the AO Arena for the weekend, from security officers, box office teams and catering staff.

The Co-op Live arena has sent out poorly received automated emails to those who had queued for Wednesday's concert to ask them about their 'world-leading fan experience'. Gig-goers have reacted with fury after the shows were cancelled, with one even telling Co-op Live bosses his granddaughter had been left in tears by the postponement of Olivia's shows

The constant problems have left concert-goers doubtful about whether they will be able to go to shows, fearing they will be rescheduled or cancelled altogether. 'We're sure they're going to communicate Take That cancellation soon. We're so sad. Had waited for this day for a long time.' Diggers and other construction vehicles on site at Co-op Live in Manchester, which has been beset with problems that have delayed its opening for weeks

'As the naming rights sponsor for Co-op Live, we are very disappointed in the delayed opening of the venue and fully recognise the disruption and inconvenience this has caused to affected ticket holders, many of whom are our Co-op Members,' it told multiple fans. Co-op Live says it had to cancel the show after a piece of ventilation equipment 'separated from the ductwork' in what it blamed on a 'factory defect' related to the piece of kit. Workmen were back on site today patching up the building.

Rapper A Boogie Wit da Hoodie said it was 'crazy' that his Wednesday night show was postponed moments before it was due to go aheadThis week's scenes have prompted mockery on social media, with some comparing the event to the Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow
