Rock legend Stevie Nicks announces huge Manchester gig at Co-op Live arena
Omggggg.
Stevie Nicks has just announced a massive gig in Manchester at the brand-new Co-op Live arena.
The rock legend, famed for her work with Fleetwood Mac as well as her impressive solo career, will be in town in summer.
The news follows her being announced as one of the headline acts at this year’s British Summer Time Hyde Park concert series.
These will Stevie Nicks’ first UK shows in almost seven years, and she’ll be one of the first rock acts to perform at Manchester’s shiny new Co-op Live arena.
The iconic singer, songwriter and storyteller is set to perform on Tuesday 9 July 2024, with tickets on sale today.
Tickets are not cheap (unsurprisingly) – you’re looking at £132.50 for the rear blocks, and around £233.50 for closer seats.
Stevie Nicks launched into the music industry as a duo with her then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham, who later went on to join Fleetwood Mac.
Her distinctive voice helped to make the group one of the most successful rock bands of all time.
She is also the first woman to have been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: first as a member of Fleetwood Mac and then as a solo artist in 2019, where she was inducted by Harry Styles.
Stevie Nicks has been named one of the greatest songwriters and singers of all time by Rolling Stone, who have also placed four of her songs into the list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (Landslide, Rhiannon, Dreams, and Edge of Seventeen).
Fans are, understandably, very excited to have a performance from Stevie Nicks on the way to Manchester.
One person wrote, in a series of posts on X: “NOW I DONT HAVE TO TREK TO LONDON IM SO HAPPY. OH MY F*CKING GOD THANK YOU STEVIE.”
She’s also announced a gig in Glasgow for this summer.
Co-op Live has recently announced a partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) that will offer free tram and bus travel to and from the new area for all event ticket holders.
The groundbreaking initiative is the first of its kind in the UK, and will give all ticket-holders to events in the venue’s opening season from 20 April to 30 June 2024 free travel on Metrolink and new city centre shuttle buses.
Stevie Nicks will perform at the Co-op Live in Manchester on Tuesday 9 July 2024.
Tickets will be available through Co-op Member presale from 12pm on Wednesday 20 March 2024, and on general sale from 12pm on Friday 22 March 2024.

Oasis Live ’27 – how to get tickets to huge Manchester Etihad Stadium run
Daisy Jackson
Oasis are officially heading back out on tour, announcing 11 massive nights at the Etihad Stadium for 2027 – but tickets will work a little differently this time around.
The legendary Manchester band will be running the ticket onsale via a registration process, to give ‘genuine fans the best possible chance of getting tickets’.
Unlike a normal ticket sale, where fans can all battle in queues and waiting rooms to buy tickets in a general sale, this time fans must register to even get in the queue.
They’ve made the decision because of ‘anticipated extremely high demand for Oasis Live ’27’.
Those who fought the Ticketmaster War for Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets will be familiar with the process, but here’s everything Oasis have shared so far.
A registration process will be in place to access the onsale for Oasis Live ’27 – this is the only public way to access tickets.
Registrants will be selected at random to receive a unique code, which will allow you to try and get tickets.
You must use the email used for your Ticketmaster account to register for the process.
Receiving a code does not guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets, but it does get you into the right queue.
There will then be different onsale times and dates for different shows and cities, with ticket onsales taking place between Friday 25 September and Sunday 27 September.
After entering your email, you’ll receive an extra link, where you can rank your preference on cities you would like to see Oasis in.
Fans will then have to answer a trivia question – ‘Which Oasis album was released in 1995?’
Registration for Oasis Live ’27 tickets is open now HERE, and you have until 4pm on Thursday 17 September to register.

Oasis announce massive Manchester stadium residency for 2027
Daisy Jackson
Oasis are heading back to Manchester next summer, with a huge run of stadium dates just announced.
The iconic Manc rock band will be playing a whopping 11 nights at the Etihad Stadium in 2027, as part of a string of new shows announced this afternoon.
Oasis have been teasing the shows for weeks, with cryptic videos online and even a large-scale drone show in the skies above Manchester City’s home ground.
And then today, they’ve announced that the comeback is indeed back on, with shows in cities including Manchester, Glasgow, Paris, Rome, Music, and Barcelona.
There’s also an unbelievable four-night run at Knebworth in September.
Oasis are set to perform a record-breaking 11-night run of gigs at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, kicking off on 4 June and running until 26 June.
Tickets will work a little differently to last time – fans must register HERE to be in with a chance of even buying tickets. There will be no general onsale.
The band haven’t yet announced prices for tickets, but fans will be hoping to see no dynamic pricing after 2024’s fiasco which saw tickets more than double in price due to huge demand.
Oasis first reunited on stages across the globe last year for the Oasis Live ’25 shows, which included five very sold-out nights at Heaton Park in Manchester.
That tour also took them right across the US, South America, Asia, and Europe.
