Bruce Springsteen Rocks the Pixie Dust Arena!…
One year ago, the Co-op Live was like a headless chicken cha-cha-cha-ing in football boots—confused and borderline hilarious! It first opened its doors to the sweet lullabies of Elbow, who turned 23,000 wild fans into a harmonious football chant of ‘One Day Like This.’ Guy Garvey was the self-appointed conductor, waving his magical conductor’s microphone, and what a sight it was! But getting there was no garden-variety skip across the field; it was more like dribbling a snappy hedgehog on a pogo stick through Treacle-ville.
Enter Bruce Springsteen, ‘The Boss,’ as they call him in the universe far, far away! He’s here to rock the magical Co-op Live, now claiming the throne as UK’s biggest bouncy castle of entertainment magic, ticking surpassing profit margins only J.K. Rowling’s pet dragon could dream of! Forget the Pimms and fruit punch, because the arena’s ticket sales alone could probably pay off the cumulative snack debts of the entire Manchester City! With ticket lines looking like a scene from Mad Max and a ventilation system that once tried to escape, this place has been one heck of a circus.
But now, folks, it’s Brucey time! Fans around the universe, possibly Pluto too, have queued in chaotic harmony to witness The Boss create something tantamount to football’s own Comic-Con! Manchester is now sky-hooking into the celestial world of live events. Forget the London Bridge, that struggled-to-stand hurdle; Co-op Live is leaping like a salmon through a coral reef, propelling Manchester into the Holy Football Grail of Gigdom. So brace yourself for tonight, when Bruce struts out with his E Street Band, ready to unleash eargasms galore and harmonies that even unicorns in tutus can’t quite nail!
