Alex Warren adds two Co-op Live dates — Utilita Arena Birmingham

Alex Warren is set for two nights at utilita arena birmingham's Manchester counterpart, Co-op Live, on 27 April and 4 May, with tickets for both dates still available. The two-show run is part of his biggest UK tour to date and puts one of the country’s busiest arena calendars in play around the Etihad Campus.

Co-op Live dates

The 23,500-seater arena is hosting Warren on 27 April and 4 May, a compact two-night booking that gives buyers two separate chances to get in before the room fills. Warren, who broke through as a singer-songwriter and social media star, has paired the run with the song "Ordinary," his chart-topping release from 2025.

Claire Rosinkranz will support him on the night. The California singer-songwriter brings her own catalogue, including "Frankenstein" and "Backyard Boy," and gives the bill a second name rather than a single-headliner shape. That matters for crowd flow, timing, and how early the room starts moving.

Etihad Campus access

Co-op Live sits next door to a big blue stadium and its integrated Metrolink stop, with the Etihad Campus stop on the light blue or orange tram lines. Trams on the Ashton-Ecles line leave every six minutes from the city centre and run until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, which gives concertgoers a practical route in and out after the 11pm curfew.

The closest bus is the 53, which runs from Cheetham Hill through Higher Crumpsall, Old Trafford and Pendleton and leaves a two-minute walk to the arena. Parking is limited and must be pre-booked ahead of time, so drivers who wait until the last minute are unlikely to find an easy fallback once roads around the stadium begin to clog.

M11 3DU parking

Congestion close to the stadium is expected to gather around two hours before any event, so the useful window is before the rush rather than after it. The postcode is M11 3DU, and anyone heading to either date should treat transit, parking and arrival time as part of the ticket purchase, not an afterthought.

Warren’s 2025 hit has already given this tour commercial lift, but the real operational question for Manchester is simple: get there early, use the tram if you can, and pre-book parking if you cannot. Two arena nights at a 23,500-capacity room make timing the difference between a smooth entry and a long wait outside.
