Manchester Arena

Manchester Arena - The Largest Indoor Venue in Europe

Over the course of its illustrious 25-year history, this Manchester institution has hosted a slew of thrilling large-scale events - from ice hockey to swimming to stand-up comedy. But it's playing home to massive arena concerts that's put the cornerstone Northern venue on the map. Before the arena was built one would rarely see international artists the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Britney Spears swing by the city, whilst now the Victoria station-adjacent outpost is a definite stop for chart-topping musicians.
