Comedian Peter Kay has been forced to postpone two shows at Co-op Live in Manchester due to the brand-new arena’s power testing falling “a few days” behind schedule.

Co-op Live shared a statement on their Twitter feed, telling followers: “Following our first test event on Saturday, regretfully we have made the difficult decision to reschedule our two opening performances by Peter Kay.
“These dates will move from 23 April and 24 Wednesday to Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 April.”
A preview concert starring Rick Astley had been due to take place at the arena this weekend but was cancelled just hours before.
