gary roden had criticised the way some smaller venues were run, before having to postpone the arena'spening shows twice, because the site wasn't ready. the 23,500 seat arena in manchester was set for a grand opening this week, with two performances by the comedian, peter kay. our arts and entertainment reporter ian youngs has more. well, it is a big embarrassment for the venue, which was meant to have opened earlier this week originally with peter kay playing two nights. those were then postponed until next week but now those have been postponed again until may. so this venue which is going to hold 23,500 people still hasn't opened and it is off to a very rocky start. as for what has gone wrong, the venue has said they need more time to test the emergency communications systems to ensure that the venue is safe and all the areas can be open to fans, but it is definitely having some troubles getting fully open. a coroner at the old bailey has been giving his findings at the inquest into the deaths of three people who were stabbed to death in a park in reading, shortly after the end of t

it is not a purpose—built snooker venue and that's part of its charm.for 47 years, and it continues to be a special place that we play snooker, year round. every young player's dream is to walk out and play here, and that continues to be the case. so murphy's feelings are pretty clear, but is he a lone voice? we asked a number of players how they felt, starting with the seven time world champion, ronnie o'sullivan, who has recently become an ambassador for saudi arabian snooker. history is just being recreated every day, this will be history at some point, this interview, and this tournament must everything becomes history at some point. i think it is inevitable that in 2027, may be the landscape will have changed in the snooker world of the next three or four years, so, but i'm just lucky that i've won here. i'm sure it won't be - here in a few years' time, and nothing against - the crucible or sheffield, but as a business, . and as a tournament, some things have to, you have to grow, . you have to change. wherever you take it, to a 2000 seater, 3000 s

what venues can you give us? some examples that have been chosen so far? we mentioned union square and golden gate park. where else? absolutely. fulton plaza, the jerry garcia amphitheater in mclaren park, potrero del sol park, crane cove park, it's it over 20 concerts. we're hitting a lot of spaces across the city over the year. not quite outside lands here, but do you have some big names coming, we have a lot of a lot of good names, some big names, some haven't even been announced yet, but. but but getting pen to paper to make that happen, but i think what you're going to see is these experiences are uniquely san francisco, because they're they're being brought to you and curated by venues that are delivering live music around the city seven days a week. so it's going to be a really authentic san francisco experience, and we hope everybody comes and checks it out. we wish you the best of luck. and i think a lot of people, not just in the city but around the bay area, will come into the city for these events, these concerts, ben van houten with the office

how can there possibly be enough demand for two venues of over 20,000 capacity in manchester? nearly, getting close to 700,000 tickets, which is insane. i mean, we don't concentrate on what our friends are doing down the road in manchester at a0. we're focused on bringing more artists from all around the world here. so we're very, very confident that we can get that. we're going to be doing between 120, 150 events a year here, and manchester can. you know, what we're doing here is more about kind of, you know, separate improving things from that london—north divide. and so we'll be taking shows, notjust from the a0, but also from all around the uk and bringing more shows to the uk as well. and in the report, there are guy garvey from elbow who plays here in may, says the venues are a little too pristine. he thinks he'll graffiti the dressing rooms. no, he won't. not on my watch! we spent a lot of money on those dressing rooms and they look absolutely beautiful. what he's going to expect when he gets there is, i mean, like a luxury hotel room. we've gone to town. the artist exp

this 13,000 seater arena, a temporary venue, is rapidly taking shape.but at a time of high geopolitical tension and in a country that has seen extremist attacks, there are mounting safety concerns — especially over the unprecedented opening ceremony, with athletes set to sail along a stretch of the seine on barges. it will be well—organised. the man in charge of delivering the games told me he was remaining confident. security is the top priority. from day one, we put in place an unprecedented system. can you guarantee that an event that's open on the river is safe? yes. there is this expertise coming from the public authorities. i trust when they say "we know how to deliver an opening ceremony "on the river seine." despite such assurances this week french president emmanuel macron admitted the opening ceremony may have to move from the river if the security risk is deemed too high. do you wish it was a different world that this was being staged in? we should not be too naive. and we know that people will try to benefit from this media exposure. but, ag
