Written by Jon Stickler
Peter Kay has been confirmed as the first act to perform at Manchester's Co-op Live when it opens this spring.
The comedy legend, who is currently on the road with his Better Late Than Never Tour, will take to the stage at the new arena on April 23. Tickets go on general sale at 10am this Friday (February 23).
The Boltonian comic and actor will be the first act to play the 23,500-seat arena — the largest in the UK — with the venue also set to host Olivia Rodrigo, Take That, Eric Clapton, Nicki Minaj and Eagles in the coming months.
Kay will continue his current stand-up tour, his first in 12 years, with a show in Sheffield on Friday. The nationwide trek kicked off back in December 2022 and includes a number of dates at Manchester's AO Arena. Tickets for those shows are already on sale.
NEW // Bolton comedian Peter Kay will be the first entertainer to perform at Manchester's @TheCoopLive — only the UK's largest live entertainment arena! — on April 23.
