Radisson Hotels Partners with Co-op Live in Manchester

Radisson Hotels Becomes Official Hotel Partner of Co-op Live in Manchester

Radisson Hotels has been named the official hotel partner of Co-op Live, a major live entertainment arena in the UK. This collaboration pairs Radisson’s hospitality services with one of Manchester’s premier live music venues, offering guests access to concerts and enhanced experiences.

Co-op Live, located next to the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club, integrates music and sports as part of the Etihad Campus. Since its opening in May 2024, the arena has welcomed over one million visitors and hosted international artists such as Billie Eilish, Bruce Springsteen, and Tyler, the Creator. Upcoming performances will feature Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran. The venue has also been recognized for its sustainability efforts with the A Greener Future (AGF) certification.

Radisson Hotels plans to operate a new Radisson Blu hotel on the Etihad Campus, set to open in 2026. The 401-key hotel will provide accommodation in proximity to the arena, while contributing to local employment and economic activity.

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 pleased to be the official hotel partner. This partnership connects our brand to music experiences and offers value for our guests and partners.”

Guy Dunstan, Senior Vice President & General Manager at Co-op Live, added, “This collaboration brings together two organizations focused on delivering experiences for visitors. Radisson’s hospitality and our venue create opportunities for coordinated stays and entertainment.”
