Olivia Rodrigo fans are furious after Co-op Live released an update on the singers’ rescheduled dates.

Both Olivia’s Friday and Saturday shows in the city were cancelled, and the venue has now revealed that details of the rescheduled dates will be announced next week.
However, fans were left furious after waiting five months for an update, with many fans already asking for refunds after assuming the tour was over.
Writing on Instagram, Co-op Live said: ‘Rescheduled dates for Olivia Rodrigo’s two previously postponed shows in Manchester will be announced next week. Stay tuned!’

Still, the statement was not well received by fans, as they used the comments to share their outrage.
They wrote: ‘lollll what I literally just sent the email asking for a refund’;
‘I paid mine back 2 days ago and now you’re doing this! Now I don’t have tickets because you took 5 months to get it and thought it would never be moved again!’;
“Not me who requested a refund last night because Olivia claimed her tour had ended and we had heard NOTHING from you or the ticketmaster. what a joke’;
‘About time @cooplive, what about all the interest earned on the money paid for tickets to a concert that didn’t happen and people waited months for information… who benefited from that?’;
‘I literally got my tickets back last week after you said there was no update’; ‘After I have refunded my tickets’; ‘I HAVE MY TICKETS NO. REFUNDED.’
Others were shocked by the time they had to wait, furiously saying: ‘It took long enough, size x’; ‘5 months later and not even an apology for the delay’;
‘Because we’ve already waited six months. What’s a few more days’; ‘Any idea fans what month it could be’;

Fans also wondered if more tickets would be added to the shows after fans had bad luck getting tickets the first time
“I wonder if you remember saying you were working on compensation for those of us who lost £100 in travel and hotel costs?”

They asked: ‘Will there be more tickets?’; ‘I hope there are extra tickets’; “Is there a new sale with the new dates?”
MailOnline has contacted Olivia’s representatives for comment.
Olivia previously said she was ‘sooooo disappointed’ and ‘so disappointed’ she had to postpone the Manchester shows after calling the venue ‘poor management’ of the arena opening.
They said they had to cancel the show after a ventilation device “became loose from the ductwork,” which was blamed on a “factory defect” related to the part.
In a statement on Instagram, Olivia Rodrigo said: “Hello! I’ve had such a great time in Europe so far and I’m so disappointed that we can’t perform in Manchester due to ongoing technical issues with the venue.
‘We are doing our best to plan the show. You can keep your tickets for more information or request a refund at your point of purchase. More information will be sent directly to ticket holders.
“I feel so bad and I hope to see you all soon.”

Hysterical fans took to social media to hit out at bosses for failing to get the arena ready for a third time after previously postponing other opening shows.
Olivia fan Lee Middleton, who had tickets for Saturday’s show, told MailOnline: ‘I can’t believe millions of pounds have been spent on this venue and a piece of air conditioning has come loose.’
‘I was so looking forward to it. I never go out at night and this was a big thing for me,” TikToker Chelsea Salt said in a video she posted after the Olivia news broke.
‘We spent so much time planning, talking about it, booking hotels, booking surprises, I booked my make-up online to get ready, I bought matching bracelets, spent time talking about outfits.
‘I’m just completely devastated. It’s just such a shame and they’ve let so many people down.”
