A widely-shared Facebook post from Charley’s family states: “He was last seen at around 2am in Manchester city centre on Saturday morning.

“He was very drunk and ran off having fallen over twice and has not been heard from since.

“We are very worried as he had dropped his phone (which we have) so is not contactable. It was a very cold night and he only had a waist length red jacket on which wouldn’t have been very warm.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said officers were called to reports of a stabbing at a school on Plant Hill Road in Blackley – confirmed to be Co-op Academy Manchester – earlier this morning (Tuesday 9 June 2026), and when they arrived on the scene, they discovered that two students and a teacher had been injured.

Staff were quick to detain a girl to ensure no further harm came to pupils or staff, before police arrived shortly afterwards.

The Weeknd at Etihad Stadium, Manchester – setlist, stage times, tickets and more

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson The Weeknd has added a Manchester date to his upcoming tour

The Weeknd’s enormous After Hours Til Dawn world tour will touch down in Manchester this week for two huge stadium shows.

The Blinding Lights singer had previously skipped our city in favour of London, but added two gigs at the Etihad Stadium last autumn, along with new dates in Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Copenhagem, Munich and Lille.

The 2026 After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has taken the Canadian diamond-certified global star across the globe.

The Weeknd’s seventh concert tour has been going since 2022, but has evolved over the years ahead of its return to Manchester.

Last time he performed in Manchester back in 2023, some fans were upset with his giant view-blocking moon balloon – but thankfully, The Weeknd is leaving that at home this time.

Instead, you can expect more pyrotechnics and lasers than the Etihad Stadium has ever seen, and a setlist packed with hits.

Here’s everything you need to know for The Weeknd at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
