Olivia Rodrigo’s Rescheduled Manchester Concerts Confirmed
Olivia Rodrigo, the renowned American singer behind chart-topping hits such as “Driver’s License” and “Vampire,” has finally confirmed the rescheduled dates for her Manchester concerts. Originally set for May 3 and 4 this year, the performances were postponed at short notice due to a series of technical issues at the £350 million music venue, Co-op Live.
Fans had been eagerly awaiting an announcement since the postponement and had petitioned both Rodrigo’s team and Co-op Live for updates. Last week, it was promised that further information was imminent, and it has now been officially announced that the concerts will take place on June 30 and July 1, 2025.
According to Co-op Live, individuals holding tickets for the original May 3 date will now have their tickets valid for the concert on June 30, 2025. Similarly, tickets for the May 4 show will automatically be valid for the event on July 1, 2025. The venue has assured ticket holders that seat locations will remain unchanged provided they retain their original tickets and do not seek refunds.
For those unable to attend the rescheduled concerts, the option to claim a refund is available. However, it will not be possible for ticket holders to transfer their tickets to another date. Co-op Live has stated that further information regarding the availability of additional tickets will be released closer to the new dates, after all existing tickets have been accounted for.
A statement on the Co-op Live website reads: “Olivia Rodrigo has announced two rescheduled dates at Manchester’s Co-op Live. She will now take to the stage at the UK’s largest live entertainment arena on 30 June and 1 July 2025.”
Following the postponement of her initial Manchester dates, Rodrigo has continued her ambitious “GUTS World Tour,” performing extensively across Europe, the United States, Canada, and Asia. As of today, October 9, she is beginning the Australian segment of the tour, which will include eight shows across Melbourne and Sydney.
