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.

What are the stage times for Teddy Swims in Manchester?
Co-op Live has a strict curfew of 11pm, so fortunately anyone attending won’t have to worry about any ‘Bad Dreams’ of staying up too late.
The doors are scheduled for 6:30pm but there’s no time announced yet for when support act Cian Ducrot will take to the stage and Swims will be joined by his house band Freak Freely.
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.
For more information on all travel options, you can check out the enhanced journey planner.
