Getting more from the live experience
Consideration is key when it comes to making a great live music experience for all involved. That's why you’ll find hearing loops and audio enhancements throughout the arena’s bowl design. Step free access at every entrance. First class soundproofing and well thought out external lighting for our neighbours that live nearby.
Safety and security are our top priority, which is why Co-op Live is one of the safest venues in the world. We will lead the way as we aim to meet or exceed security legislation and standards to ensure our fans and artists are safe and secure.
We’re also pledging an annual sum of £1m+ to help support good causes in our local community.
