Billie Eilish announces FOUR huge Manchester gigs at new Co-op Live arena
Dates and how to get tickets below...
Global pop megastar Billie Eilish will perform FOUR massive gigs here in Manchester next year.
The star has announced the show as part of the Hit Me Hard And Soft tour, which spans more than 80 dates across the globe.
Billie last performed in Manchester in 2022, when she brought her Happier Than Ever tour to the AO Arena.
This time, she’s picked the city’s new Co-op Live arena, where she’s lined up four nights – and tickets go on sale later this week.
The tour announcement comes ahead of the release of her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which is pencilled for release on 17 May.
Billie Eilish and her co-writer and producer brother Finneas have earned dozens of awards for their music since she burst onto the scene with Ocean Eyes in 2016.
Among those awards are nine Grammys, three Brit Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and even a couple of Oscars (for her songs on James Bond’s No Time to Die, and then the Barbie soundtrack).
Billie announced her latest huge tour this afternoon, which includes dates across the USA, Europe, and Australia.
This is the third huge act to be announced at Co-op Live today alone, which has also added Janet Jackson and Craig David to its bill of events.
The 23,500-capacity venue is set to officially open to the public on 1 May after a few delays, with both Peter Kay and the Black Keys rescheduled to later dates.
Billie Eilish will perform at Co-op Live in Manchester on 19, 20, 22, and 23 July 2025.
Tickets will go on general sale on 3 May 2024 at 12pm through See Tickets here.
Co-op Members can have early access to tickets from midday on 30 April 2024.

An affordable club night with £4 doubles is coming to an iconic Manchester nightlife venue
Thomas Melia
One of Manchester’s most-famed nightlife venues is preparing to host an all-new affordable student club night every single week.
Manchester is already a clubbing haven, but now it’s about to receive a fresh face courtesy of events company Oops!
The club night has already seen massive success just over the Pennines hosting a weekly event in Leeds’ student hotspot Headingley every Saturday.
This time, Oops! has chosen none other than one of Manchester’s most iconic nightlife venues, Joshua Brooks, to host its affordable weekly night out.
Clubgoers can expect £4 double and mixer drinks as well as £2 shots and not one, but three rooms of music setting totally different vibes.
The basement is raver-ready with disco-tech and house to soundtrack your evening, the middle room has R&B and slow jams covered, while the top floor takes care of ‘Everything you pretend not to like’.
Oops! also runs in further Northern cities and receives a great reception, hosting nights every Friday in Newcastle and a previous stint in Liverpool too.
This club night company couldn’t contain their excitement revealing in a social media post: “Joshua Brooks is second to none when it comes to sound, production and its deep rooted history in the scene.
“Now, with thousands of pounds’ worth of new lighting installed throughout the venue, we’re ready to show you exactly what we’ve been working on.”
And the company prides themselves on its welcoming atmosphere with the website stating: “No VIP Packages. No ego. No unnecessary nonsense.”
Ticket prices start from £3 and stagger in £1 increments with final tickets capped at £6 – when they said affordable, they really meant it.
Oops! is running every Tuesday from 22 September over at Manchester clubbing institution Joshua Brooks and you can find tickets and more info HERE.
