Fans were expected to arrive to the new Co-op Live location in Manchester last night at 6:30 p.m. On the venue webpage, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie was scheduled to perform at 8 p.m.
But, a “venue-related technical issue” meant that at 6:40 p.m., spectators learned about the cancellation of the show through a post on the venue’s social media accounts.
Many were incensed as fans began to assemble outside the £365 million arena.
Those who were going to Rodrigo’s appearances at the arena this weekend expressed instant concerns about whether they would go after last night’s postponement.
Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour dates on May 3 and 4 are being postponed due to an ongoing technical issue at the venue, the venue announced in a news release.
