Radisson Hotels Named Official Partner of Co-op Live Manchester
Radisson Hotels has entered into an exclusive partnership with Co-op Live, the UK’s largest live entertainment arena, becoming its official hotel partner. This collaboration is set to elevate Manchester’s reputation as a global destination for culture, hospitality, and live music.
A Landmark Venue in Manchester
Since opening in May 2024, Co-op Live has welcomed over one million visitors within just ten months. The arena has already hosted some of the world’s biggest names, including Billie Eilish, Bruce Springsteen, and Tyler the Creator, with upcoming shows by Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran. Strategically located next to the Etihad Stadium, Co-op Live has also been recognised as Pollstar’s “New Concert Venue of the Year” (2025) and has received the “A Greener Arena” certification from A Greener Future (AGF).
Strengthening Radisson’s Presence in Manchester
This partnership comes ahead of the highly anticipated opening of a new Radisson Blu on the Etihad Campus in 2026. The 401-key property will be part of Manchester City Football Club’s North Stand expansion, generating jobs and boosting the local economy.
“Co-op Live represents the future of live entertainment in the UK, and we are delighted to be the official hotel partner,” said Cristina Serra, Global SVP, Brand & Experience, Customer and Marketing Strategy at Radisson Hotel Group. “This partnership not only connects our brand to unforgettable music experiences but also creates direct value for our guests, members, and partners.”
Exclusive Rewards for Guests
As part of the agreement, Radisson Rewards members will enjoy exclusive benefits, including premium concert tickets, hotel-and-ticket bundles, fan activations, and VIP contests, making every visit to Manchester even more memorable.
Guy Dunstan, Senior Vice President & General Manager at Co-op Live, added: “This collaboration brings together two brands committed to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. With Radisson’s reputation for excellence in hospitality and our vision as the UK’s premier live entertainment venue, we’re excited to offer fans and visitors a world-class experience inside and beyond the arena.”
Radisson’s Continued Investment in the City
Radisson already operates the Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, a Verified Net Zero property. This new partnership reinforces the group’s commitment to Manchester, seamlessly connecting world-class hospitality with the excitement of live entertainment.
