Co-op Live

Co-op Live is the largest indoor arena in the United Kingdom by capacity, opening in May 2024 on Manchester's Etihad Campus. Designed by Populous with a music-first philosophy, its bowl layout and over 500 acoustic panels prioritize sound quality, while the stage area deliberately omits commercial signage to keep focus on the performer. The venue runs entirely on electric power and incorporates rooftop solar, air source heat pumps, and rainwater harvesting.
