Robbie Williams at Manchester’s Co-op Live: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know

There’s no denying that Robbie Williams has bangers. From ‘Millenium’, to ‘Angels’, to that one where he ripped his own skin off in the music video (‘Rock DJ’, of course), Ar Robbie has been entertaining the British public for decades. He is, by all accounts, a legend – so, if you’re headed to his live show, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a great time.

The Britpop Tour, which coincides with his new album of the same name, will be playing massive stadiums across Europe all summer, and it’s already kicked off here in the UK. Robbie’s already hit Edinburgh and London, and Manchester is next on the agenda

Yes, the legendary entertainer will be rocking up to Manchester’s Co-op Live this Tuesday and Wednesday. So, if you’ve got a ticket, here’s everything you need to know.

When is Robbie Williams playing Co-op Live?

Robbie’s Manchester shows are on Tuesday June, 10 and Wednesday, June 11. 

What time do doors open?

Doors will open at 6.30pm, giving you plenty of time to get a drink and get comfy. 

What time will Robbie Williams come on stage?

It’s not been officially stated when you can expect Robbie to make his grand entrance, but according to Co-op Live, the show will likely begin at around 8pm. It’s worth getting in well before that though to get a good spot.

What’s the seating plan?

Here’s the seating plan for Manchester’s Co-Op Live, according to Ticketmaster.

Who’s supporting Robbie Williams at Co-Op Live?

So far, Robbie has been supported on tour by Manchester’s own Lottery Winners and deep-voiced chart topper Rag ‘n’ Bone Man. It’s not clear when they’ll be taking to the stage, so get there early to avoid disappointment.

Robbie also brought out some very special guests at his London shows over the weekend - in the form on 90s throwback 5ive and ‘Shout’ songstress Lulu. So, don’t be surprised if there’s a couple other sneaky little additions.

Setlist

Robbie’s setlist has remained largely the same thus far (save from a few additions to accommodate special guests) so it’s a pretty safe bet that the Manchester shows will contain largely the same songs. Frankly, it’s a setlist full of wall-to-wall bops, so if it ain’t broke…

• All My Life / Song 2 / Seven Nation Army / Rim Tim Tagi Dim / I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) / Minnie the Moocher (The Ho De Ho Song) / Livin'
