The 'Never Gonna Give You Up' hitmaker helped open the brand new £365 Co-op Live arena
There’s something endearing about a group of lads filing onto a busy tram and singing their hearts out to ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’, but such is the power of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit.
It wasn’t without its teething issues though. An audience of 11,000 made up of invited guests and those who had paid £5 for tickets were expected to pile through the doors, however a number of those were sent an email just hours before the event, telling them their tickets had been cancelled. The twins, from Manchester, who perform as The KTNA opened before a string of other acts including Meute, an eleven-piece techno marching band from Germany, who seemingly hypnotised the crowd during a lull between main act performances, and Manchester-formed group Everything Everything, who's better known hits including ‘Cough Cough’ and ‘Distant Past’ kept the energy going in a venue that was far from filling its 23,500 capacity.
“You’re not here for me,” he joked before explaining that the next hour or so would take the audience on a journey through some of his newer material, the classics and a number of covers. His self depreciation was quickly proven wholly unnecessary though. Likewise, a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s ‘Ain’t No Mountain Higher’ and Harry Styles ‘As It Was’, Chic’s disco classic ‘Good Times’ went down a treat. From his own back catalogue, a group singalong to ‘Hold Me in Your Arms’ may have slowed down the pace a little, but after Rick promised to “take the brand new roof off you f****** arena”, the pace really picked up as we entered the night drew to a close.
