There are many words you could use to describe the launch of the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester earlier this year - none of them good - but the upshot of its chaotic opening was that a slew of big-name artists were forced to postpone or relocate their shows.
One of these was Olivia Rodrigo; due to play at the venue in May as part of her Guts World Tour, she had to cancel two gigs because the arena wasn’t ready. These have now been rescheduled for 30 June 2025 and 1 July 2025 (tickets for the original shows remain valid for the new ones), dates that just so happen to fall right after the Glastonbury Festival, which runs from 25 to 29 June.
