Before Placebo takes the stage
Hotels, food and things to do around Co-op Live.
Ancoats neighbourhood
Walkable district with independent cafés, restaurants, bars and galleries. Useful for arriving early, grabbing a bite, and heading into the arena on foot.
- Our favourite
Etihad Stadium
Manchester City's home stadium, a short drive away. If you know parking around the Etihad, some of the same operator lots serve both venues — confirm access for your event date.
Manchester city centre
The main shopping and dining district is about a mile south-west. Some drivers park further out and take a taxi or walk when local parking is tight.
