Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 9th February 2026

Kaytranada will be performing a huge show in Manchester as part of his newly-announced 2026 European tour.

The Montreal-based producer is set to bring his unmistakable dancefloor sound to the Co-op Live arena this June, marking the only northern date on the UK run alongside London and Birmingham.

From huge hits like ‘BE YOUR GIRL’, to his latest song with Pink Pantheress, Kaytranada’s run has been nothing short of iconic, and his live shows are guaranteed to be non-stop movement from start to finish.

The news follows his co-headline tour with Justice last year, and the release of his album AIN’T NO DAMN WAY!, which features songs including Grammy-nominated SPACE INVADER.

The 10-times-nominated, two-times Grammy award-winning artist will be heading to cities including London, Paris, and Birmingham.

Swedish pop icon Robyn to play huge Manchester gig on European tour this summer

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant Robyn

Generational Swedish pop icon Robyn is heading out on a big European tour this summer, and she’ll be stopping off in Manchester.

This is Robyn’s first major tour since 2019, and it will feature 20 dates as well as her biggest ever headline shows – including London’s 20,000 capacity O2 Arena, and three consecutive hometown nights at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena.

And, of course, a night at Europe’s largest indoor arena – Co-op Live, here in Manchester.

Having provided some of the biggest moments in pop culture over the last three decades, Robyn is currently in the eye of one of the year’s most celebrated musical returns, as 2026 has seen her announce her ninth studio album, and her first since 2018, titled Sexistential, produced with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, and reuniting her with Max Martin for their first co-writes since 2010.

It’s said to be the ‘most ecstatic’ record Robyn has ever made, and is tipped to be the sound of one of contemporary music’s most influential artists ‘coming home’.

This upcoming tour will feature an exciting lineup of special guest openers across the UK and Europe dates – with 808 State and Zhala on the bill for Manchester‘s gig, bringing together a mix of boundary-pushing artists who are either friends of Robyn or among the voices that inspire her.

Robyn – The Sexistential Tour UK & EU 2026

  • Wednesday 24 June – 3Arena, Dublin
  • Friday 26 June – OVO Hydro, Glasgow
  • Saturday 27 June – Co-op Live, Manchester
  • Tuesday 30 June – ING Arena, Brussels, Belgium
  • Wednesday 1 July – Adidas Arena, Paris, France
  • Friday 3 July – The O2, London
  • Wednesday 8 July – Uber Arena, Berlin, Germany
  • Saturday 11 July – Unity Arena, Oslo, Norway
  • Tuesday 14 July – Royal Arena, Copenhagen, Denmark
  • Thursday 16 July – Avicii Arena, Stockholm, Sweden
  • Friday 17 July – Avicii Arena, Stockholm, Sweden
  • Saturday 18 July – Avicii Arena, Stockholm, Sweden

Following on from the UK and European tour, Robyn will then head over to the US and Australia for another run of huge dates in major cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Mexico City, before the tour draws to a close in Melbourne in Australia on 24 November.

Review | ‘This is a night to remember, Manchester’ – Jason Derulo’s Co-op Live debut

Amy Williams Amy Williams

Who’s ready for another throwback night? Because this was absolutely a night already full of nostalgia and one to remember.

American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo hit Co-op Live last night as part of his ‘The Last Dance World Tour’, famous for hit songs like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’ – we all remember the Covid TikTok dance, don’t we? – as well as many more.

With over 250 million singles sold and tens of billions of streams, you best believe his one night in Manchester was sold out. 

Running through the big hits and everything in between, he and his dancers made it a proper party atmosphere on this fine Saturday evening.

He did his throwback songs and more; from the moment he said, “We’re throwing it back to the beginning, back to 2009″, we knew his first debut single, ‘Whatcha Say’, was about to grace our ears, and that it did.

He also brought back absolute classics like ‘Ridin’ Solo’ (I definitely lost my voice during this one) In My Head and It Girl. 

The Last Dance run of shows has seen him visit places like Leeds, London, Glasgow and Birmingham, finishing his UK leg right here in Manchester, before he carries on to Europe, but we’re confident our date had the best crowd so far.

And just when you think this couldn’t get any better, he brought his little boy on stage to say hi to everyone, too – shattered everyone’s hearts.

Still trying to shrug the tears even now.

He has that many hit songs, it wasn’t possible to get through them all, so his DJ halfway through did a mash-up of songs he’s also written and featured in, including ‘I Gotta Feeling’ by Black Eyed Peas, ‘Secret Love Song’ with Little Mix and ‘Replay’ by Iyaz. 

We knew his voice was amazing – but can we have a moment for this man’s dance moves, keeping everyone on their feet at Co-op Live tonight, and his dancers made everyone want to start dance lessons tonight too, an absolutely incredible performance by all. 

Jason Derulo told the audience, “This is a night to remember Manchester’, and that it absolutely was.
