      Power problems, loose wiring and gigs cancelled last minute, inside £365m Manchester Co-op Live Arena launch catastrophe

      by

      IT was hailed as the most revolutionary venue in the country – one that would usher in a new era of live music.But a week after the £365million Co-op Live Arena was due to open in Manchester, it has turned into a catastrophe.The revolutionary plans of the £365million Co-op Live Arena have been put on hold after its opening has turned into a catastropheCredit: William Lailey / SWNSComedian Peter Kay’s opening performances were cancelled TWICE last monthCredit: GettyUS rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie was due to launch the arena last night instead – but was axed 10mins before the doors openedCredit: GettyConcerts have been cancelled and fans left devastated, while the venue’s chief executive has also quit.US rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie was due to launch the arena — which counts singer Harry Styles as a minority shareholder — last night after comedian Peter Kay’s opening performances were twice cancelled last month.But as queues gathered outside, punters were told the gig had been axed at the last minute, throwing the saga into another level of turmoil.And tonight, Take That and Keane announced their gigs due this month had been called off too, with Take That moving theirs to the nearby AO Arena.READ MORE MUSIC NEWSYesterday’s plans were halted after part of an air-conditioning unit fell off, striking fear into a city already uneasy about venues after the bombing of Ariana Grande’s show at the AO Arena in 2017.An initial test event at Co-op Live in mid-April highlighted major concerns, with loose wiring, unfinished interiors and some cables even gaffer-taped to walls.The capacity for that event, which featured a performance from Rick Astley, had to be cut by 4,000 with two hours to go due to power issues.When it was first announced, the Co-op Live — the biggest indoor arena in Britain with a capacity of 23,500 — promised to “elevate both the artist and fan experience”.Most read in MusicBut the current shambles has raised a series of questions about how long it could take to finally get the building up to scratch — and whether anyone will actually want to perform, or go, there once it is.‘Miracle no one hurt’Grammy’s 2022: Olivia Rodrigo Wins Best New ArtistA music industry insider told The Sun: “The whole thing is a nightmare and an embarrassment.“The developers are absolute experts on building venues so it is shocking how wrong it has gone.Olivia Rodrigo shared how ‘disappointed’ she was after her performance had to be axedCredit: Getty“Every issue which the operators have is to do with the building itself.“When Peter Kay was first supposed to perform in April, half the building didn’t even have electricity.“There have been loads of problems with getting power, which is pretty key. You can’t have a gig in front of 23,500 people with no power.“But the fact something fell off the air con is even more concerning. It’s a miracle no one was hurt.“It doesn’t bear to think about what could have happened if people had been allowed in as planned.”It has also been reported that the backstage toilets are still incomplete, meaning artists have to use the public loos until they are finished.After Wednesday’s cancelled gig, a statement from operator Oak View Group said: “During soundcheck, a component of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, used to direct air, separated from the ductwork. There was nobody injured.“Although we believe this to be an isolated incident caused by a factor defect, we were not able to verify that all similar nozzles were free of such defects.”In response, a spokesman for The Co-op Group said: “As the naming rights sponsor for Co-op Live, we are shocked at the incident which has led to late cancellation of tonight’s show at the arena.“We are relieved that no one has been injured, but we share the disappointment and frustration of ticket holders.”US superstar Olivia Rodrigo’s opening shows of her UK tour, which were scheduled to take place tonight and tomorrow at the venue, have now been axed.Olivia, who would have appeared suspended from a crescent moon hanging from the ceiling, was understandably upset — as were almost 50,000 fans who were due to see her.She wrote on Instagram: “I’m sooooo disappointed that we’re unable to perform in Manchester due to ongoing venue-related technical issues. We’re doing our best to reschedule the show.“I’m so bummed and I really hope to see you all soon.”TikToker Chelsea Salt, who was due to attend, said in a video: “We spent so much time planning, talking about it, booking hotels, booking surprises. “I booked my make-up online to get done, I bought matching bracelets, spent time talking about outfits.“I’m just absolutely gutted. It’s just such a shame and they’ve let so many people down.”Olivia was part of an all-star line-up for the launch season. But there are now questions over which concerts will go ahead, meaning hundreds of thousands of fans are still in limbo.

A lot of fans in my DMs [direct messages] going off.”Last week, Gary Roden, the venue’s general manager, resigned after the original series of problems and delays.He is understood to have been paid hundreds of thousands in his role — but failed to deliver the building in time.And he faced a backlash after claiming, ironically, that small music venues are closing down because they are poorly run.Rebecca Kane Burton, who was previously in charge at London’s O2 Arena, has been brought in as interim general manager.Former Westlife star Brian McFadden, who lives in Manchester and has played at the nearby AO Arena multiple times, said he saw no use for the costly new venue — which is just a five-minute walk from Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium — in the first place.Brian, now touring in duo Boyzlife, told The Sun: “The AO is a fantastic arena. The arena is just minutes from the Etihad stadiumCredit: Peter Byrne“When I was in Westlife we did ten nights sold out when it was called the MEN Arena and I still to this day remember it.

Britney and Paul then retreated to a hotel room around 11 pm, where sources claimed the two got into a physical altercation.The source said she reportedly injured her leg in the fight.THE DIVORCEThe incident came after she finalized her divorce with her ex-husband, Sam Asghari, 30, in early May.Britney Spears’ conservatorship timeline
      In September 2021, Britney’s case returned to a Los Angeles courtroom where Judge Brenda Penny made a number of bombshell rulings, following her father’s decision to end the conservatorship the month prior.
      She ruled to rid Jamie of his daughter’s conservatorship, however, it did not mean the end of the conservatorship altogether.
      Speaking in court, Judge Brenda Penny said: “Based on what I read in the filings, and I read everything. I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears.
      “The current situation is unattainable. The court finds the toxic environment Jamie Spears has created needs to be removed today.”
      Following the judge’s decision, a temporary conservator was put in Jamie’s place for about a month.
      In early November 2021, Jamie was back in court filing new legal documents that show he’s done fighting.
      Jamie had previously demanded $2 million in exchange for stepping down but documents at the time showed that he was not seeking any further compensation.
      On November 12, Judge Penny ruled in favor of the pop star, removing Jamie from the position of conservator without requiring any further mental examination from Britney.

      Sam filed for divorce from the pop star in August 2023, citing irreconcilable differences.Her former partner signed a prenup, which means he was left with nothing after the divorce.Britney has been paying Sam’s rent after he left their shared Los Angeles home, TMZ reported.Sam reportedly asked Britney to write him a six-figure check after the divorce.Britney and Sam hit it off back in 2016 when he appeared in Britney’s Slumber Party music video.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe former couple became engaged in September 2021 and got married the following June.The Crossroads actress shares her two boys Jayden, 16, and Sean, 17, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 45, whom she split from in 2007.Britney walked out of the hotel with a pillow in hand and her belongings on a stretcherCredit: Instagram/britneyspearsBritney was spotted walking out with a blanket over her pajamasCredit: Instagram/britneyspears More
