Co-op Live is an indoor arena in Manchester, England, sited in the Etihad Campus next to the City of Manchester Stadium. It opened on 14 May 2024 and is the largest indoor arena in the UK by capacity, and the third largest in the world.
The venue has 32 bars, restaurants and lounges and has the largest floor space of any comparable UK arena. Oak View Group operates the venue in partnership with City Football Group. Further investors in the arena include singer Harry Styles.
Co-op Live is the UK's first fully electric arena, and notes its strong sustainable credentials including a football pitch worth of solar panels, rainwater harvesting to flush the toilets and water the plants, intelligent building controls, reusable cups, locally sourced food and materials, and a zero waste direct to landfill policy.
The venue has been commended for its sound design, with Liam Gallagher comparing the venue to New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden. Opening the venue, Elbow frontman Guy Garvey noted the arena's design, calling it a "feather in the cap of Manchester's music [scene]".
In its first year of opening, Co-op Live announced 12 UK arena exclusives, including well-received performances by Paul McCartney and the only UK dates on Eagles' farewell tour. The venue marks its first anniversary with the first of an exclusive run of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band performances.
Co-op Live has pledged at least £1m annually to the Co-op Foundation, and having donated funds to the likes of Liam Gallagher's chosen charity, Happy Doggo. In March 2025, Co-op Live confirmed a donation in the name of opening act Elbow to Manchester's Northern Quarter venues to help improve their sound equipment.
