A new video of how Manchester's £350m Co-op Live venue will look has been revealed for the first time.
Construction is currently underway at the site in the shadow of Manchester City's Etihad stadium and its doors are due to officially open in 2023.
When complete, the 23,500-seater venue will feature a bowl design, "cutting edge" visual technology as well as 32 bars, lounges, restaurants, suites and club spaces.
Co-op Live is intended to host everything from live music to sports events, comedy gigs to award shows and family entertainment.
To coincide with the launch of Co-op Live's new website, which was launched on Monday, a short film has been released showcasing the planned interior spaces.
Manchester creative agency Music developed the video and social edits, which features a poem titled 'The Ultimate Gig' by Mancunian poet and broadcaster ARGH KiD (aka David Scott) read by Radio 1Xtra’s Yasmin Evans, as well as the track 'Charlemagne' by Stockport band Blossoms.
