Chris Brown Biography

Chris Brown has added ANOTHER Manchester date to his Under the Influence tour

He now has three dates here in Manchester.

Chris Brown has just added yet another Manchester show to his upcoming tour.

The American singer has added a new date in March to the Under the Influence tour, due to ‘phenomenal demand’.

Brown, who now has 10 studio albums to his name, had already announced two gigs at the AO Arena here.

But the musician has now tacked a third on to his run of shows, with tickets selling out at lightspeed for the first dates.

Chris Brown will now perform at the AO Arena on 21 February, before heading to other cities around Europe.

🆕 // JUST ANNOUNCED Extra date added due to phenomenal demand! @ChrisBrown brings the #UnderTheInfluence tour to AO Arena, 13 March 2023! 🎫 available from 10AM Friday 27 January. https://t.co/AFMpiEiwsi pic.twitter.com/EDFBwLC3eX — AO Arena (@AOArena) January 23, 2023

Then he’ll be back in Manchester on 9 March, and again on 13 March as his newly-announced extra date.

Considered to be one of the most successful RnB artists of his generation, the star burst onto the scene in 2005 with his self-titled debut album Chris Brown .

His biggest singles have included Yeah 3x , Turn Up The Music , With You and Ayo .

Tickets for his new AO Arena date will go on sale on Friday 27 January from 10am.

You can get your Chris Brown tickets through Ticketmaster .

Iconic 90s boy band and homegrown heroes Take That played the first of their five-night run at the AO Arena this Tuesday night and boy do these lads know how to put on a show.

I’m going to start this off by admitting I wasn’t necessarily the biggest Take That fan going in – the hordes of huns, mums and tipsy grans firmly won that – but I did walk out with my headphones full blast listening back to all the greatest hits I’d just had brought to life in front of me in glorious technicolour.

At one point, it looked like they might not get to play their truly massive Manc arena shows after the drama with Co-op Live’s ‘opening’ fortnight was derailed but, fortunately, the AO Arena were there to rescue this week’s performances and put together the frankly barmy production in just a few days.

So, first of all, big props have to go to them and they rightly did on the night; the venue helped keep lots of people’s dream gig alive, with both the headliners themselves and support act Olly Murs encouraging a huge round of applause from the packed-out 23,000 cap arena.

‘Olly olly’ opening (yes, he did chant get the entire crowd to chant that)

Speaking of Olly, again, I can’t pretend to be the biggest Murs fan but two things are true, I knew most of the words to his biggest hits as he played a medley of his career from start to finish and the man has bundles of energy.

He cut a George Michael and almost Harry Styles-esque figure at times (even if a few years older, sure), sprinting from one side of the stage to another, cycling through the whole roster of dance moves and giving the crowd exactly what they wanted: that cheeky chappy vibe that got him where he is.

While the 2010s UK chart-topper was a deeply unserious performer for the most part, simply having fun and pratting about as he wished – he even had a fun little stunt where people could call his number on stage – we’re not mad at it because make no mistake, he showed everyone a good time.

And it wasn’t all just playing forgotten pop tunes to his main and admittedly adoring demographic, he he paid a touching tribute to his late friend Caroline Flack with a slower ballad and gave plaudits to his live band who helped bring plenty more. And then these three other lads emerged through the fog…

Non-stop shenanigans and we loved every second of it

Quite literally, we mean: Take That’s entrance felt like some kind of weird second coming and, to be fair, it looked to be a biblical experience for the die-hards who began to scream at pitches we’ve rarely heard as they walked out to ‘Keep Your Head Up’, the opener from their last year’s album.

An obvious way to start their Manc tour dates off, we had some idea of the shenanigans about to happen after spotting a few videos on social media but in no way we’re prepared for the thematic whiplash that was about to take place. Or how much we were going to enjoy it.

We’re not joking when we say we lost track of how many costume changes there were, how many times the set design shifted from a set of stairs (think of a Vegas-style cabaret show, only at one point they were on fire) to a walkway descending from the ceiling and so much more madness.

The overarching narrative, in short, was a slightly sardonic twist on a Take That TV show, with Gary, Mark and Howard introducing and flicking through all the big moments down the years. It reminded us of The 1975 stage production at times, only a little less artsy and a bit more wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

Back for good

If we had to give you a top-line summary of the show overall, it’s intentionally camp, over-the-top and often silly by design, but all with plenty of self-awareness underpinned by the lads who, just like Olly did beforehand, did nothing but have a laugh on stage. Oh, and yes, Gary did ‘the thing’, don’t you worry.

Be it marching up and down stairs in synchronicity before running out of breath when they remember they’re 50, to delivering dance routines galore and getting the rest of the band to come and sway side-to-side with everyone sitting round a sofa, they pull out of the stops when it comes to pageantry.

It also has to be said that no matter how big a Take That fan you are, hearing a full AO Arena belting out ‘Patience’, ‘The Greatest Day’, ‘Never Forget’; ‘Rule The World’, ‘Back For Good’, ‘Relight My Fire’ and oh my they really do have a shed load of absolute bangers, don’t they?…

• Barry Manilow says he’s booked AO Arena ‘just in case’ the Co-op Live isn’t ready for Manc gig
• Everton manager Sean Dyche randomly pops up in the music video for Blossoms’ new single
• Liam Gallagher says he’ll ‘gig in Lidl’ if Co-op Live still isn’t ready – and they sound game for it

To cut a long story short, while Take That obviously wished “all the best” to the Co-op Live for when it hopefully opens next week, it felt rather fitting for them to return once again to the venue that first started playing decades ago and still how the record for having played the most shows at.

Better still, the whole bells and whistle spectacle did add something to the experience and it wasn’t as gratuitous as it perhaps looks in some of the clips that have been memed up online. Still daft, don’t get us wrong, but they know it is and it made moments when the vocals were front and centre memorable.

It doesn’t matter how many years on they are, Take That’s latest show proves exactly why your mum, grandma, auntie and probably your uncle loved them in their heyday, why it was such a big deal when they came back in the noughties and why they’re still selling out arenas to this day.

They’ve been doing this for years and they’re absolute pros – we don’t see them going away again any time soon. Roll on the next few nights!

Travis Scott will be bringing his epic Utopia – Circus Maximus Tour to Manchester this summer, announcing a huge gig at the Co-op Live arena.

The rapper and producer today released details of 12 arena and stadium dates across Europe, including his biggest UK headline show to date at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

His 2023 album Utopia became the biggest hip-hop album of the last year, racking up more than 50 billion streams globally and spending four weeks at the top of the Billboard charts.

And now Travis Scott is heading to Manchester’s new Co-op Live as part of the European leg of the tour, which sold out across North America.

The Utopia – Circus Maximus tour will donate £1 (or one euro) from every ticket sold to the artist’s Cactus Jack Foundation, which helps young people in Houston with scholarship programmes, toys, and experiences.

The eight-time Grammy-nominated artist will play hits from his record-breaking Utopia, as well as his three previous studio albums – Rodeo, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, and Astroworld.

Travis Scott’s live show is promising to ‘transport fans into an unparalleled audiovisual experience’ when it kicks off in the Netherlands in June, before arriving in Manchester in July.

Tickets for his Manchester gig will go on sale on Friday 10 May at 10am local time through See Tickets here .

One of the world's top R&B singers, Grammy award-winning Chris Brown has landed in Manchester on his European Under The Influence tour for not one, but three dates in the city.

At one point reportedly banned from Britain for the assault of his then -girlfriend Rihanna, then facing multiple other assault allegations, the 33-year-old artist is no stranger to controversy. His latest tour is no exception, with reports of a phone-throwing incident involving a female audience member.

But with extra show dates added to an already big tour to meet demand, his reputation certainly doesn't seem to have harmed ticket sales.

What it does do though, is invite a razor-sharp focus on his performance. Will his talent shine through tonight and make the audience simply unable to focus on anything else but his music?

Descending from the ceiling on a wire in a red jacket and black pants, he kicks off the night with the slinky Indigo to a chorus of deafening screams, followed by the poppy Beautiful People.

There's no build-up - we're in and he's off, not a second wasted.

"I gotta lotta f***ing songs!" he clarifies, launching into Yeah, Party, Ayo and other anthemic tracks.

Donning a black and red T-shirt with the slogan: 'Emotional Support Animal', he pulls off a series of Michael Jackson-esque dance moves that can't fail to make you smile.

Don't Judge Me is a rather apt inclusion with its lyric: "Take me as I am and not who I was."

And it looks like the crowd definitely are.

2005's Run It kicks off a retro whirl of tracks - we only get snippets but they're all good.

Next it's Take Me Down, or rather 'get me up' as one female audience member gets invited on stage for a lap dance from Mr Brown and actually manages to look pretty relaxed as one of the biggest artists in the R&B world gyrates in front of her. It's short enough to be fun rather than sleazy though.

The thirteen backing dancers are excellent, if a little gynaecological at times with their thong bodysuits and energetic leg lifts.

The stage goes up in flames - in a good way, as Heat heralds the start of the next section, featuring tracks mostly from his latest album, Breezy.

Warm Embrace sees the screen fills with naked nymphs sitting on clouds, while Brown changes into another black top and black jeans combo. He does don a white set of clothes later but it's actually refreshing how few outfit changes he has. Substance triumphs over style in this show.

Brown's material goes from poppy to soppy in a heartbeat but the sexy highlight of the night is the hot and heavy Under The Influence with a dancer simulating a kiss with the man himself.

The crowd chant the lyrics - they really do seem to know EVERY word to every song, no mean feat when we get nearly 50 of them, albeit only snippets of some.

Crucially though, he chooses the right songs to snip and the ones to sing fuller versions of and even gives the crowd a choice of tracks to pick from on a gameshow type board.

Yo, No Air and Forever are what the audience want so that's what they get.

Then it's Iffy, Loyal and all too soon, it's over, with Brown urging, rather unnecessarily: "Before we get outta here let's go f***ing crazy!" before launching into the eponymous song.

Whatever you think of Chris Brown’s personal life, he's undeniably a great showman. His vocals, dancing and backing dancers are flawless and the show is perfectly paced.

There's no posturing, no boring displays of ego or dull chat, and no messing about. It's just pure unadulterated fun and the crowd lap it up.
