Teddy Swims at Co-op Live, Manchester – tickets, times, setlist, and more for UK tour

Show me 'The Door' that takes me to the front row please.

Thomas Melia Thomas Melia - 9th March 2025

Manchester prepare to ‘Lose Control’ as everyone’s favourite face-tatted singer Teddy Swims embarks on his ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour’.

Since releasing his debut project ‘Unlearning’ in 2021, Swims has reached unattainable heights, more so from the success of his 2023 breakout hit ‘Lose Control’.

Following this, the star has seen himself nominated for a variety of awards including ‘Song of the Year’ at MTV VMAs and ‘International Song of the Year’ at The BRITs.

The Georgia-born powerhouse vocalist released ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1)’ in 2023 with the accompanying ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2)’ which dropped in January this year.

It’s the first of the titles that produced those soulful hits we know and love, ‘Lose Control’, ‘The Door’ and ‘Bad Dreams’ just to name a few.

How to get to Co-op Live

Tram

For those of you heading to Co-op Live, luckily it’s right next door to a rather famous big blue stadium and its integrated Metrolink stop.

Head along the light blue or orange lines directly to the Etihad Campus or Ashton-under-Lyne and you can get off the tram literally spitting distance from the arena. You can find the full map HERE.

Trams run frequently on the Ashton-Eccles line to the Etihad stop, with services leaving every six minutes from the city centre and until 01:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.

Bus

You can find the full list of bus routes HERE, with the one in closest proximity to the venue being the 53 bus which runs from Cheetham Hill through to Higher Crumpsall, Old Trafford and Pendleton, leaving just a two-minute walk to Co-op Live. You also get free Bee Network travel with any valid event ticket.

Getting there by car and parking

If you’re driving, there is limited parking available at the venue but this must be pre-booked ahead of time and there are designated drop-off areas.

The postcode is M11 3DU and you can follow the signs towards the wider Etihad Campus as you get closer; directions to the adjacent drop-off points will also be signposted.

Keep in mind that congestion on the roads close to the stadium is expected to gather around two hours prior to any event, so if you are travelling on the road, these are the suggested times they provide come event day – though estimates will obviously vary:

  • Alan Turing Way (both directions): plan an additional 20 minutes into any journey by road.
  • Hyde Road (eastbound): expect an additional 15 minutes to be added to your journey.
  • Mancunian Way (westbound): plan for an extra 10 minutes of travel time.

There are also three park-and-ride facilities near Co-op Live but be advised that the Velopark and Holt Town stops will be closed post-event to help safely manage crowds:

  • Ashton Moss (Ashton line) – 183 spaces and 12 disabled spaces
  • Ashton West (Ashton line) – 184 spaces and 11 disabled spaces
  • Ladywell (Ashton-Eccles line) – 332 spaces and 22 disabled spaces

Walk/cycle

Lastly, Co-op Live is only a half-hour stroll from Manchester Piccadilly and you could even walk along the canal all the way to the front door if you fancy taking the scenic route.

Greater Manchester now also offers the option to hire bikes through the Beryl, with riders able to locate, unlock, get to their destination and then safely lock up the bike all through an easy-to-use app. There are hire points just near the south-west corner of the Etihad Stadium on Ashton New Road.

Fast-rising rock band The Guestlist announce headline tour and landmark Manc gig

Danny Jones Danny Jones

Up-and-coming Manc rock band The Guestlist have announced some of their biggest shows to date with a full UK tour later this year, including a hometown gig right here in Manchester.

Having earned nods from BBC Radio 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins, support slots with Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, Inhaler, Blossoms, Seb Lowe and more

The five-piece made up of frontman Cai Alty, lead guitarist Tom Quigley, bassist Sid Wallace, drummer Angus Gilchrist and rhythm guitarist Leio Hunter are rapidly growing a cult following – hence why they’ve been able to book such big venues so early into their music career.

Manchester will be the best date, naturally, because there’s nothing quite like playing to a crowd on your own turf, is there?

Growing a strong presence online over the past 12 months or so, with 400,000 followers across all social media platforms and nearly 8 million likes on TikTok, their monthly listeners are creeping up.

And it’s no wonder why given their sound – which we can vouch for as recent fans ourselves.

It’s worth mentioning that The Guest List featured on our round-up of Manchester artists we’ve been listening to over the past month back in November 2024.

We described them as “five mates making very good indie rock with a more old-school vibe that’s almost reminiscent of the early 2000s and a general swagger way beyond their years.”

It feels rather fittingly, then, that a year from publishing that quote they’ll be playing one of their biggest headline shows yet at none other than the wonderful New Century Hall. He’s a taster of the reception they got at Band on the Wall earlier this month:

With festival slots at the likes of Kendal Calling, NBHD Weekender, Truck Fest, Y-Not and more, it’s going to be a big year for the boys.

The Guest List make their way back to Manchester for what is sure to be a massive milestone show on Friday, 21 November and you do not want to miss seeing these lot live.

Tickets for the New Century Hall show and all other dates go on sale at 9am on Friday, 14 March.

You can get ready to grab yours HERE.

Anaïs, Molly and Gene Gallagher share the screen in a new phone advert

Danny Jones Danny Jones Noel and Liam Gallagher kids in Samsun phone advert

The Gallagher kids have enjoyed a little reunion of their own as Noel’s daughter Anaïs, as well as Liam’s oldest and youngest children, Molly and Gene, have been doing a little bit of light acting in a new advert.

It’s been just over half a year now since Oasis broke the internet and British brains everywhere after confirming their comeback and ‘Live ’25’ world tour and we’re now just a few months out from seeing it in person a decade and a half since they last played together.

The family feud is one of the most famous in all of showbiz but one thing we’ve always wondered is how much of an impact it had on the Gallagher kids, especially now they’re adults.

Well, it turns out that since their dads have put their brotherly differences aside, their offspring look to have done the same.

The advert itself is for Samsung and their new Galaxy S25 Ultra model and, more specifically, its new ‘Auto Trim’ video editing feature.

Set at what looks to be a dinner party, the two previously estranged Gallagher daughters can be seen sending messages back and forth; meanwhile, Liam‘s youngest son Gene is merely in the background other than calling the whole thing “cringe”.

He’s already far too rock and roll for all this clearly.

After all, he and the rest of his Villanelle bandmates are starting to gain some traction and might have some of those reunion shows to get ready for. 25-year-old Anaïs still maintains he didn’t even hear anything about it from dad Noel until the announcement itself.

Either way, the main thing is that the gang are all back together. Wouldn’t ‘r Peggy be proud?

There’s even talk that both Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and Gem Archer will also be returning to the fold for the reunion shows this summer.

Liam Gallagher’s son reportedly set to open for Oasis on 2025 reunion tour
Yes, LG Jr. might be opening up for his dad as one of the support slots.

It’s worth noting that the advert isn’t the first time the Gallagher kids have been pictured with each other since the reconciliation, though.

Molly, Anaïs, Gene and Liam’s eldest Lennon – who wasn’t part of this cosy little commercial for whatever reason – were all spotted at London Fashion Week together back in September 2024.

Despite plenty of choice words having been shared across the family tree over the years, it looks as though all is said and done and now we just have to pray everyone stays friends until July. If the ‘plum story’ has taught us anything, it’s that is a very delicate ecosystem.

After a more recent and seemingly legit picture of the two seemingly getting on together surfaced online (they must have had at least one little spat by now, surely?), it’s feeling more and more real as the five nights at Heaton Park and all the other dates edge closer.

Not that half of us in the office even managed to get tickets, mind you…

Don’t worry if you didn’t get Oasis tickets, one of the UK’s best tribute bands is coming to Manchester
Never mind, there’s always the next best thing for a fraction of the price.
