Styles unveils Manchester gig with £20 tickets

Harry Styles has revealed he will play a gig at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester and fans appear to be able to get tickets for £20.

The singer announced on Instagram he would play "One Night Only" at the arena on 6 March, to mark the release of his fourth album, Kiss All The Time. Disco Occasionally.

The former One Direction star will be playing at the same arena a week earlier when he performs at the Brit Awards on 28 February.

The Co-op Live arena's website crashed shortly after the announcement, with a message saying: "We are currently experiencing a high level of traffic on our website."

The venue's website said tickets would be made available through a "request process" beginning from Friday to Sunday "to ensure tickets go to fans".

It advised fans to follow Styles' social channels or visit his website.

Styles' Instagram poster-style announcement promised a "special performance of the album", and included the date and venue with £20 written in the corner.

The 31-year-old, from Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, is due to embark on his Together Together world tour from May.

It includes a string of dates at the John Cryuff Arena in Amsterdam, followed by stints at Wembley Stadium, Sao Paolo, Mexico City, New York, Melbourne and Sydney.

Styles added two more dates to his residency at Wembley Stadium, setting him up for a record-breaking 12-night run this summer.

Some fans had expressed "disappointment" over the ticket pricing of those concerts - with regular tickets ranging between £44.10 and £466.25.

Styles, who is a Co-op Live arena shareholder, will take to the stage at the Brits in February - three years after his last performance at the ceremony in 2023, which saw him take home four gongs.
