The two sold-out concerts Harry Styles played at Emirates Old Trafford this summer helped give Manchester's economy a near £30m boost, according to new figures.
Gigs from The Killers and Red Hot Chilli Peppers also contributed to the economic impact of the events staged at the iconic cricket ground this year, as well as five T20 Blast games, four Hundred matches, an England test match against South Africa and two one day internationals.
The figures have been compiled by Marketing Manchester, the not-for-profit agency charged with promoting Greater Manchester on a national and international stage.
