The Co-op Live Arena in Manchester is set to become the UK’s largest indoor arena. Therefore, we were incredibly proud to be part of its official launch celebrations.

To mark the occasion, our stilt walkers, juggler bubbleologist and hula hooper led the festivities along the vibrant walking route from Holt Town tram stop to the arena entrance. Along the way, they created a striking visual spectacle that drew crowds and built excitement for the grand opening.

Meanwhile, the electrifying German techno brass band Meute powered the procession forward with their unmistakable sound. As a result, the atmosphere felt energetic, immersive and truly celebratory. Passers-by stopped to watch, film and join the parade as it moved through Manchester.

Together, live music and bold circus visuals transformed the route into a moving celebration. Ultimately, the launch reflected the scale, ambition and creativity of this landmark new venue.
