The Co-Op Group has issued a statement after multiple shows have been cancelled and postponed.
The new Co-Op Live arena, in Manchester, cancelled A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's show last minute, as hundreds of fans queued outside on Wednesday, May 1. Fans were told to "leave the area" after a spokesperson said the concert would not be going ahead due to a "technical issue".
This comes after the arena was originally supposed to open with a series of Peter Kay gigs starting on April 23 but the comedian's shows were rescheduled twice. The Black Keys, who were also lined up to perform, have agreed to reschedule their show to May 15.
Bosses also announced that Olivia Rodrigo's two shows at the arena, which were due to take place on Friday and Saturday, would also be postponed. A Co-op Group spokesperson said that they share fans' "disappointment".
