Former One Direction singer Harry Styles has made his first big move into the business world with an investment in Co-op Live, Manchester’s new arena which is set to be the largest in the UK.
Given planning approval last month, the venue – a result of a partnership between the Co-op and US entertainment group Oak View Group – is set to open in 2023.
And it’s now been revealed that Styles, who has now forged a highly successful solo career, has invested an unspecified sum into the project and will be “actively involved in the development of the project” in his hometown of Manchester.
He’ll work alongside OVG’s UK and international team, led by global live entertainment industry leader Tim Leiweke, on the project.
