POLICE and fire chiefs have remained silent on why they raised safety concerns about Manchester's new Co-op Live arena before venue bosses were forced to postpone Peter Kay's two launch gigs.
The 23,500-capacity venue was due to officially open with a homecoming show from the Bolton comedian last night.
He was set to perform again tonight, but both shows were cancelled and rescheduled to next week as work at the site is not yet complete.
It came after a test event at the £365m arena on Saturday evening, featured performances from Rick Astley and Everything Everything. Co-op Live bosses reduced capacity just hours before the show, leading to frustration from fans who had already started making their way to the Eastlands venue.
The council's building control is yet to sign the building off.
Co-op Live bosses have confirmed the Peter Kay shows will be rescheduled for next Monday and Tuesday.
Problems with power at the site are believed to have affected fire safety and emergency services communication systems.
