Live music fans have a new reason to celebrate as Radisson Hotels has been announced as the official hotel partner of Co-op Live, the UK’s largest live entertainment arena.
The partnership will combine Radisson’s world-class hospitality with the energy of Manchester’s newest live music venue, offering concertgoers exclusive access, premium experiences, and enhanced stays when visiting the city.
The announcement comes ahead of the opening of the new Radisson Blu hotel on the Etihad Campus, which is set to launch in 2026. The 401-room hotel will form part of Manchester City Football Club’s North Stand expansion, creating a hub that unites sport, entertainment, and hospitality on one world-class site. The project is expected to deliver significant local employment opportunities and boost the regional economy.
Cristina Serra, Global SVP, Brand & Experience, Customer and Marketing Strategy at Radisson Hotel Group, said:
“Co-op Live represents the future of live entertainment in the UK, and we are delighted to be its official hotel partner.
This partnership not only connects our brand with unforgettable music experiences but also creates real value for our guests, members, and partners through unique access and exceptional hospitality.”
Guy Dunstan, Senior Vice President & General Manager at Co-op Live, added:
“This collaboration brings together two brands with a shared commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.
With Radisson’s global reputation for excellence and our vision as the UK’s premier live entertainment venue, we’re excited to offer fans and visitors a truly world-class experience — both inside the arena and beyond.”
