Co-op Live

Co-op Live hosts three Teddy Swims nights in April 2027, on Friday 16, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 April, on the UK leg of The Ugly Tour. That is three of the nine announced UK nights, more than any city on the run except London, which also has three.

The arena is on the Etihad Campus in east Manchester rather than in the city centre, and it opened in 2024, so getting there and getting home matter more here than at a city-centre venue. The city's main national rail hub is Manchester Piccadilly, which National Rail rates category A, with step-free access to all platforms, lifts throughout and Changing Places toilets. One detail rarely gets flagged on a show night: staff assistance at Piccadilly stops at 21:00 every night of the week, earlier than an arena crowd leaves.

How do you get to Co-op Live on the Etihad Campus, and how do you get home?

Manchester Piccadilly is the city's main national rail hub and the practical arrival point for Co-op Live. National Rail rates it category A: step-free access to all platforms, lifts throughout, accessible toilets, Changing Places toilets and baby changing, with a first-class lounge, Wi-Fi, refreshments, shops and CCTV. The ticket office is open Monday to Saturday from 04:30 to 22:30, and on Sunday from 07:00 to 22:30.

Staff assistance is the constraint. It runs from 07:15 to 21:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, and from 09:00 to 21:00 on Sundays. That 21:00 finish applies identically to all three Teddy Swims nights, and it falls two hours before the 23:00 curfew the promoter publishes against each of them. A guest who needs assistance at Piccadilly on the way home cannot count on it on any of the three nights, and a group that includes someone who does should build the evening around that rather than around the last train.

The last leg is short, and it is not a walk in from the city centre. Reporting dated 9 March 2025 places the arena on the Metrolink at the Etihad Campus stop, two minutes' walk from the 53 bus stop, and roughly a thirty-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly, with Beryl bike hire points near the stadium and Bee Network travel included with a valid event ticket. All of that rests on a single article dated 9 March 2025, so treat the free-travel line as something to confirm for your own night rather than a promise.

No tram or bus times are given here. The frequencies, the late-service hour and the park-and-ride sites that circulate for this venue all trace back to that same article of 9 March 2025, and the transport operator's own pages could not be reached to re-confirm them on 7 September 2026. A stale late-service hour would also separate the Friday and Saturday nights from the Sunday, so check the night's own services before you travel.

What is published about the shape of the night is a start and an outer limit, not a finish. The promoter's own listing, read on 7 September 2026, gives doors of 18:30 on all three nights and a 23:00 curfew against each. A curfew is the latest the night is permitted to run, not the time the show ends, and no stage time for 16, 17 or 18 April 2027 has been published in any source this page could reach. So the gap between the 21:00 assistance cut-off and the actual end of the night can be bounded but not measured, and anyone travelling in from another city on a late connection is working without that number.

Where do you park at Co-op Live?

This page names no arena car park, and no capacity or charging arrangement, because the venue publishes none that could be sourced. The travel panel on this page records off-street parking near the arena, and that is as far as the evidence goes. What is operator-sourced is the station: Manchester Piccadilly has 903 parking spaces, 35 of them accessible, which makes park-and-train a real option for a guest arriving from outside the city.

Two things follow. A driver who parks at the station inherits the 21:00 assistance limit above on the way back. And a driver planning to park nearer the arena should confirm the arrangement directly for the night in question rather than from any list, including this one.

What does hospitality at Co-op Live involve?

What is established for these three nights is the shape of the evening rather than the room: the arena sits on the Etihad Campus, Manchester Piccadilly is the practical arrival point, and staff assistance there stops at 21:00. On the arena's own premium and hospitality products, nothing about premium seating, suites, boxes, membership or booking terms could be sourced in a form worth repeating as of September 2026, from either the venue or its operator. So this page names no lounge, no suite size and no inclusion list for it, and leaves the gap open rather than filling it from elsewhere.

What can be said about hospitality on this tour is set out once, on the Teddy Swims UK Tour 2027 hub, and it is written about the tour rather than the arena's own products.

When does Teddy Swims play Co-op Live?

Three Manchester nights are announced for April 2027: Friday 16, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 April. The Friday came with the original run of UK dates, the Saturday was added around 30 July 2026, and the Sunday appears as a new date in coverage of 24 August 2026.

Sunday 18 April is followed by an ordinary working Monday. A group travelling in from another city has the 21:00 assistance window and the unpublished finish time to weigh on that night too. The other UK nights are on the Teddy Swims UK Tour 2027 hub.
