Harry being papped at an high profile event in Manchester. The announcement for the new arena concert is coming I believe!

well he wasn’t actually in Manchester the match was in Luton.. but the announcement for the arena did drop yesterday

Opening act confirmed for UK's new and largest arena at Co-op Live in Manchester

Peter Kay has been announced as the opening act at the UK's new largest indoor arena in Manchester this April.

opening date is april 23rd (same day as the Northern Music Awards - also in Manchester..) but I mean Harry could still book a show there for a HS4 launch.. we’ll see.. curiously this article doesn’t even mention Harry’s involvement at all like this earlier article did.. where btw he’s quoted as saying:

“As long as everything’s in order by 2023, hopefully they’ll let me play there.”… (but then again that was back when they expected it to open in 2023 so..)
