Inside the Harry Styles-Backed Venue Set to Be the U.K.’s Biggest and Most Sustainable Arena

Co-op Live in Manchester -- go inside the UK's biggest and most sustainable arena, OVG's first in the country and backed by area native Harry Styles.

OVG COO Francesca Bodie(who is Leiweke’s daughter) says that starting the company’s international expansion in the United Kingdom was a “natural and deliberate step” to take due to the country’s status as “one of the greatest cultural destinations in the world.” He confidently states that the legacy issues for many music fans visiting arena-size venues “where you find your seat, have a terrible warm beer, eat a burger that tastes like cardboard and queue for 30 minutes for the toilet” won’t apply at Co-op Live. Other upcoming shows include Kid Cudi, Slipknot, The Black Keys, Eric Clapton, Pet Shop Boys, Jonas Brothers, Pearl Jam, Justin Timberlake, Noah Kahan and Megan Thee Stallion.
