Co-op Live

What a day with Nordoff and Robbins at the O2 Silver Clef Awards on Friday 5 July 2024, and to see Jacob Collier take away the Oak View Group sponsored Music Innovation Award. As part of Oak View Group, we are extremely honoured to continue to support Nordoff and Robbins’ vital work and to sponsor a category that so perfectly aligns with our combined core values. As we look towards the next generation of live entertainment venues, our steadfast dedication to community and charity could not be better placed than in Nordoff and Robbins, and their brilliant positive impact on so many lives.

We’re delighted to confirm that Co-op Live ticket holders will continue to enjoy integrated tram travel until the end of July 2024 across the full Metrolink service four hours before and after each event. The extension of the initiative comes as post-event data indicates that more fans are opting to use the Metrolink network rather than travelling by car, and as Co-op Live anticipates that over 1M fans will utilise sustainable travel options over the next 12 months.
