Olivia Rodrigo’s show at Co-Op Live has been postponed, leaving fans frustrated with only three days’ notice.
Fans say they have been left in the lurch after the concert was postponed with three days notice.
The singer behind “Good 4 U” is the latest casualty of the venue’s ongoing challenges. On Wednesday, the opening night was canceled for the third time, frustrating fans who were already waiting in line. Rodrigo was set to perform on both Friday and Saturday, but Co-op Live cited persistent technical issues for the postponements. Just the day before, the singer kicked off the European leg of her GUTS tour in Dublin.
The latest postponements were announced with only a three-day notice.
The venue offered ticket holders the option to either retain their tickets or receive a refund. Acknowledging the “significant inconvenience” caused by the show’s postponement, the venue empathized with fans, particularly those who had traveled long distances to see the internationally renowned artist. Sommer Sweet and her brother, for instance, flew from Belfast to Manchester on Wednesday morning in anticipation of the Friday night concert.
Ms. Sweet, 18 weeks into her pregnancy, expressed to the BBC that they had invested substantial sums and taken time off work for the trip, now feeling it was all in vain. “We have no other purpose for being here,” she lamented.
Scott Tostevin, hailing from Guernsey, had arranged flights and accommodation for himself and two companions to attend the star’s event on Friday night. He informed the BBC that the trio had expended several hundred pounds on the excursion. “I’m left with the option of utilizing my flights and hotel to simply watch a film in Manchester or forfeit the money altogether by cancelling with no chance of refunds,” he shared.
Others on X (formerly Twitter) expressed frustration over the short notice and voiced concerns about the possibility of the concert being cancelled altogether.
The fans of US rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie received even less notice, discovering the cancellation of his Wednesday night concert while waiting in line outside the venue.
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, whose real name is Julius Dubose, cited an issue during the soundcheck before the show as the reason for the cancellation but assured fans that he was actively working to reschedule the concert within days.
The Oak View Group, responsible for the venue, reported that a part of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system had become detached from the ductwork, emphasizing that no injuries occurred. They stated that thorough inspections were underway to prevent similar issues in the future. “We understand the inconvenience this may cause for many and sincerely apologize to all those affected,” they added.
Peter Kay was slated to be the inaugural performer at the Co-Op Live venue in April, but the show had to be postponed due to the venue’s incomplete construction. Gary Roden, the manager of Co-op Live, resigned last week amidst the delays in opening and criticism over his remarks about the management of smaller live music venues.
The arena clarified that it does not support his views. There’s no update yet on the status of upcoming shows by Take That and Eric Clapton at Co-Op Live in May. Rodrigo’s GUTS tour gained attention in the US for distributing contraceptives and morning-after pills at a concert in Missouri, where abortion is prohibited.
Fans were eagerly awaiting the chance to see Olivia perform live, but it looks like they’ll have to wait a little longer. Apparently, there were some unexpected challenges with the venue that led to the decision to reschedule the show.
While it’s disappointing news for fans, it’s important to remember that these things happen in the world of live events. It’s a bummer for sure, but the silver lining is that Olivia’s team is working hard to make sure the rescheduled show will be worth the wait. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a smooth resolution and an epic performance when the new date rolls around. Stay tuned for updates and let’s show Olivia our support during this unexpected turn of events!
