This is a first look inside £365m Co-op Live which is now Europe's biggest indoor arena
With a capacity of 23,500 it is positioning itself as one of the UK’s most significant gig venues, looking to attract both homegrown and international talent.
The large-scale arena has been built by BAM Construct UK and is a joint venture between Oak View Group (OVG), co-founded by music mogul Irving Azoff, and City Football Group.
As well as backing and investment from pop superstar Harry Styles, concert promoters Simon Moran and Denis Desmond were also linked last year, as were SJM holdings.
What sets it apart from other venues, according to Co-op Live’s opening team, is its ‘music-first’ philosophy.
The arena boasts the largest floor space of any indoor venue, tiered seating that brings fans closer to the artists and space for just over 9,000 standing gig-goers.

One of the culprits behind the Horizon scandal has a seat on the Co- op board. Says a lot about their ethical standards.

It's become an embarrassment and laughable. Such bad management. They should just keep it closed until ever issue and glitch they have is resolved, rather than cancelling events at the last moment.

What..? You can't power a Peter Kay gig.. one man on a stage... what makes you think you can power actual bands... With electric instruments.. 😂

Err, that's a really silly question, and here's why. The in-house sound system would still require the same amount of wattage for one artist as it would several band members. A band's instruments are just amplified backline, via the in-house PA system. The lighting for the show would also need the same wattage as that for a band, and it's mostly LED lighting these days, which is a blessing for Artists while on stage as it doesn't create heat. Then there's everything else in the venue that uses lots and lots of energy, like the coolers in bars and restaurants, outdoor lighting, heating, security equipment, office space etc. Your average guitar amplifier is around 50w-100w. The same as an old fashioned lightbulb. Electronic instruments hardly use any energy. 15w-30w max these days, if that. Some instruments can be powered from a USB port on a laptop.

This arena will not be ready for another month. The management are complicit in over promising, and delivering little. Hopefully, once it is fully completed, the bad memories of the first few weeks will begin to fade.
