19 December, 2024 - Seat Unique, the number one destination for premium live experiences, is set to be the presenting partner for Grammy award-winning artist Burna Boy when he performs at Manchester's Co-op Live on the bank holiday Monday 21 April, 2025.

As part of the deal, Seat Unique will sell a variety of premium packages for the event, and take over the Co-op Backstage Club, offering fans access to exclusive experiences before and after Burna Boy takes the stage.

The venue’s backstage area, which holds up to 700 guests, will open early to give fans the opportunity to dine, drink and unwind before the show begins. These tickets are all exclusively available to purchase through seatunique.com - together with other unique VIP experiences.

This partnership builds on Seat Unique's existing relationship with Co-op Live, where the company already offers hospitality packages to the venue’s incredible roster of global artists and performers. 

Robin Sherry, founder and CEO at Seat Unique, said: "We are thrilled to be partnering with Burna Boy for his upcoming UK shows at Co-op Live.

“Burna Boy’s high-octane performances are legendary and we are thrilled to be working alongside Co-Op Live to provide his fans with access to unique and curated experiences to elevate what already promises to be an unforgettable night."

He added: "Over the last 18 months, we’ve seen demand for ‘premium live’ in Manchester soar, as the city continues to attract both global superstars and grass-root talent. 

“Fans of all genres have already shown us how much they value Manchester's live music scene, and Seat Unique wants to give them seamless and official access to the immersive live experiences they are seeking.”

It comes as Burna Boy, who is renowned for his vibrant ‘Afro-fusion’ genre mixing hip-hop, R&B, and afrobeats, announced his eighth studio album on Tuesday. 

'No Sign Of Weakness' will be a follow-up to 2023's 'I Told Them...', via Spaceship, Bad Habit and Atlantic Records in 2025, though a release date is still to be confirmed. 

The Nigerian star swiftly followed this up by dropping his new single, Bundle By Bundle, produced by his frequent collaborator Telz.

Burna Boy made history in 2023 as the first African artist to headline a UK stadium. Last year's shows in London featured guest appearances from Stormzy, Dave, and J Hus.
