The vision for Manchester's new Co-op Live arena has been laid out by the industry giant who helped make the O2 in London what it is today.
The £365m venue is expected to open its doors in just 18 months. The 23,500-seat venue is being built in the shadow of Manchester City's Etihad Stadium and will mark a major moment for the city's entertainment industry.
The long-term plans for Co-op Live were outlined at an exclusive event in the city centre attended by BusinessLive.
