Hotels for Thirty Seconds to Mars Presents A Beautiful Lie vs This Is War

A double-album celebration built around two records that shaped a generation of arena rock: the raw, gothic swagger of the early sound set against the anthemic, war-drum stomp that followed. Expect a set built for maximum contrast, moving from stripped-back menace to full-throttle choruses with pyrotechnics and staging to match.

Fans who grew up on both eras get a rare chance to hear them share a single night rather than a single tour cycle. Early doors mean the night stretches long, with room for a proper light show once darkness falls.

One of the UK's largest indoor arenas, Co-op Live sits alongside Manchester City's stadium in the city's eastern events campus, built specifically for big-ticket music tours and live entertainment. The surrounding district is sleek and modern, designed to move large crowds, with central Manchester's nightlife a quick tram ride away.

Metrolink services stop right on the campus, linking straight into town. Booking a room near the arena or in the centre lets you reach the tram easily and avoid the late-night scramble.
