First look inside new £365m Co-op Live arena opening in Manchester

Images have been revealed inside the new Co-op Live arena, as guests have been taken on a tour for the first time.

The arena, which cost an eyewatering £365m, is being built by Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. The 23,500-capacity arena is on track to be completed and ready to host events will open its doors in April, 2024.

As part of the "topping out" ceremony - the final stage of roof construction - guests including partners, venue stakeholders, media, as well as the construction and subcontractor team, were invited to sign the final acoustically treated roof cassette, lifted into place to top out the structure, with their signatures becoming part of the permanent structure.
