Noah Kahan at Co-op Live, Manchester – tickets, setlist, support act and more
It's Stick Season baby!
Singer-songwriter sensation Noah Kahan is heading to the Co-op Live arena in Manchester this week.
The folk-pop singer has always had legions of loyal fans but really hit the mainstream with his breakthrough third album, Stick Season.
The title track of that album shot Noah Kahan to the top of the UK singles charts and led to his first Grammy nomination.
He’s also collaborated with the likes of Hozier and Julia Michaels over the years.
Noah Kahan embarked on an arena tour around the UK earlier this year, but now he’s back and heading straight to Manchester.
He’s set to play at the new Co-op Live arena on Tuesday 13 August.
If you’re heading along to the show, here’s everything you need to know.
Who’s supporting Noah Kahan in Manchester?
Maisie Peters has been announced as the support act for Noah Kahan’s Co-op Live gig in Manchester.
The much-loved British singer has two albums to her name, and won the Breakthrough Award at the Rolling Stone Awards last year.
She’s a bit of a pro at warming up a crowd too, having supported everyone from Taylor Swift to Coldplay to Ed Sheeran in the last few years.
Are there still tickets for Noah Kahan’s Co-op Live gig in Manchester?
General admission tickets are completely and utterly sold out at this point.
There are still some tickets floating around on resale sites but make sure you’re using a reputable platform so you don’t get scammed.

Boney M, The Cheeky Girls, and Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK stars are all on the lineup at Salford Pride’s popular Pink Picnic this summer.
As this summer marks 15 years of Pride in Salford, Salford Pride has announced a whole host of exciting events to celebrate – including the return of The Pink Picnic, its biggest family-friendly celebration yet, with headliners like 90s and 00s music icons, community talent, and even a ‘bigger and bolder’ Youth Zone for 2026.
Returning to Peel Park once again, The Pink Picnic brings together LGBTQ+ community, allies, families and friends for a day built around community, joy, and belonging.
For 2026, Salford Pride is expanding the experience further with even more to do across the park than ever before.
The Pink Picnic has been part of Salford’s Pride story since 2011, but this year’s 15th anniversary addition is set to be one for the history books, as alongside a headline lineup featuring Boney M, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’s Kyran Thrax and Paige Three, The Cheeky Girls, Big Brovaz, Booty Luv, and Baby D, a strong programme of community acts will also be spotlighted.
Some of the exceptional community acts already named on the lineup so far include Tallulah Guard, Fear of Marko, and John Tucker.
Across the day, visitors can also shop from dozens of community stalls and market traders, take part in or watch the much-loved annual dog show, and visit the ‘bigger and bolder’ Youth Zone that’s designed to help young people feel seen and celebrated.
“Celebrating 15 years of Pride in Salford feels really special, and we wanted 2026 to feel like a proper thank you to the community that’s built this with us” said Scott Turzański, who is the Head of Marketing and Brand at Salford Pride.

Donny Osmond books biggest-ever Manchester gig
Danny Jones
Iconic American singer and actor Donny Osmond has announced his biggest-ever Manchester concert as part of his upcoming ‘VIVA UK’ tour dates.
Bringing his famous Las Vegas residency show to Great Britain, where he has always had a fervent following, the younger Osmond brother will be making a venue debut over six decades into his career.
Famously part of the musical family who not only sang together but also saw multiple TV shows created in their name – including his very own spin-off, Donny and Marie – he’s been around longer than most in showbiz, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Confirming a whole new run of live dates across the country, Donny Osmond will be returning to Manchester early next year.
Writing on social media, the veteran entertainer said: “I’m so pleased to finally share the official 2027 UK tour dates with you.
“It always means so much to return to the UK – the audiences there have given me some of the most unforgettable moments of my career.”
As for here in our city, he last played Manchester back just a few short years ago at the AO Arena, selling out the 20,000-seater space on 29 November 2023.
Now, though, he’s upgrading to approximately 23k this time, with die-hard fans being encouraged to download his very own ‘Donny App’ to secure the earliest possible access.
