Co-op food with a difference

Make your way to Level 0 for a vibrant, Mexican inspired menu featuring products you can pick up from your local Co op. Dishes include cheesy chicken quesadillas, Irresistible fajita steak ciabattas and loaded nachos. Or enjoy wood fired Co-op Irresistible pizzas from Co-op Kitchen on Level 1 - and if you fancy an encore, don’t miss a warm cookie dough to finish on a sweet note.

Short on time? Snack between songs with the iconic Co-op Irresistible Sea Salt and Chardonnay Vinegar crisps, a tasty hot bake or a selection of your favourite sweets from Canalside Co-op (Level 1) or Co-op’s located on Level 3.

The Ultimate Stage

Co-op Live transforms fans' live music experiences through its innovative sound bowl design, cutting-edge visual technology, and exceptional acoustics.

Co-op Live is big enough to attract the greatest acts on Earth, yet intimate enough to ensure everyone gets to experience them at their very best.

A golden investor

We’re delighted to have Harry Styles on-board as one of the Co-op Live key investors. He said: “I was drawn to this project on every level, from the opportunities it brings, to the contribution it will make to the city, and most importantly, that it will allow even more live music to thrive in Manchester.”

Planet friendly vibes

Co-op Live is Net Zero Scope 1 and 2. With all-electric power, rainwater collection and no landfill waste, it's one of the most sustainable venues in Europe. Proper Sound. Read more here.

Funding youth projects

Co-op Live donates at least £1million a year to the Co-op Foundation to support communities and empower young people through initiatives like the Young Gamechangers Fund.

Young Gamechangers is a ground-breaking initiative funded by the Co-op Foundation, #iwillFund and Co-op. It offers grants of up to £20k directly to individual young people to help turn their communities into safer, more sustainable and inclusive places to live.

Elizabeth Crompton received funding for Allyship - to facilitate important conversations about violence against women and girls in schools throughout Rochdale.

Proper Sound

To put into words what makes this venue so special we joined forces with Salford legend John Cooper Clark to craft a poem - Proper Sound.

It is a testament to the bond between Co-op and Manchester, and celebrates this incredible music venue built on Co-op values.
