Thousands of disappointed ticket holders took to social media to express their frustration, with many having travelled long distances for the event. The venue confirmed the cancellation shortly before doors were due to open, leaving attendees scrambling for alternative plans.
Fans React to Shock Cancellation
Devastated concert-goers shared their reactions online, with one fan tweeting: "Waited months for this, booked hotels, took time off work – now this? Absolutely gutted." Others questioned why alternative arrangements couldn't be made, given the significance of the Manchester stop on Drake's tour schedule.
Official Statement Released
A spokesperson for the event stated: "Due to circumstances beyond our control relating to travel logistics, tonight's Drake performance at Co-op Live Arena has been postponed. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and are working to reschedule the date."
The cancellation comes amid growing anticipation for Drake's UK tour, which has already seen several sold-out shows. No immediate information has been provided about when the Manchester performance might be rescheduled or details about refunds for those unable to attend a future date.
