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.

Niall Horan will be back in Manchester this year on a huge newly-announced European arena tour.
The former One Direction star (and chart-topper in his own right) has just announced his Dinner Party Live On Tour tour.
The tour comes in support of his upcoming fourth solo studio album, Dinner Party, which promises to be ‘cinematic and organic’.
Niall Horan will be performing at the Co-op Live in Manchester this September, along with gigs in other UK cities including Sheffield, Glasgow, and Newcastle.
He’ll then head right across Europe, playing music from his multi-Platinum-selling songbook.
Niall first shot to fame as one-fifth of One Direction, but has one of the group’s strongest solo careers, with three chart-topping albums and massive hits like Slow Hands, Heaven, and Our Song.

Yard Act announce handful of new headline shows ahead of 6Music gig in Manchester
Clementine Hall
Yard Act are back as they announce first round of UK headline dates since 2024, including a show right here in Manchester – but not before their BBC 6Music Festival gig later this week.
We are so, SO back.
It’s been a few years, but Yard Act have just announced a limited run of domestic shows for later in the year including their homecoming gig at the O2 Academy in Leeds on Friday, 6 November.
But after playing over in Yorkshire, the lads will be performing shows at the O2 Victoria Warehouse on the following Friday (13 Nov).
Yard Act completed the touring for their critically acclaimed second album, Where’s My Utopia?, with a victory lap back home at the 5000 capacity Millennium Square in Leeds in August ’24.
It was a record that brought a stark change of pace to the acerbic, post-punk of their debut, embracing something altogether more playful and bringing a different energy.
It shifted the dynamic on stage too, with the addition of dancing backing singers and additional musicians and openly challenged listeners to reconsider who they thought Yard Act were.
Since then, the band have been keeping busy writing and recording their third studio LP, as well as heading out across the UK and Europe with The Hives – oh, and that intimate one-off show at Blackpool Tower last May.
Following a lengthy stint in the studio, the band now look to this coming autumn for three big UK dates and we cannot wait. We spoke to them a little while back and know how much big stuff they’ve got further pipeline; you can see the interview HERE.
Booking just three headline slots, the handful of tour dates are as follows:
06 Nov – Leeds
13 Nov – Manchester
26 Nov – London
Tickets go on artist presale from 10am on Wednesday, 25 March before hitting general sale at 10am on Friday, 27 March. Sign up to grab yours right HERE.
