A council statement said: "The Council has received documentation that confirms that the venue has carried out the necessary investigations following the incident with their air ducting that provides reassurance that they have considered their duties under Health and Safety law."

In late April, the council and emergency services referred to other "concerns" about the building, but the local authority has said those were addressed before the aborted A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie show.

A separate statement from Co-op Live on Friday said it was "thrilled to be gearing up to open our doors" and "especially disappointed to have delayed our introduction and frustrated so many in the process".

"For all shows rescheduled to take place at Co-op Live, and for those ticket holders of shows next week that have worried about their shows taking place, we want to ensure that all fans have the best possible experience at their long-awaited event," the venue said.

Ticket-holders for shows in the next two weeks, plus the rescheduled Rodrigo and Keane concerts, will get a free drink and food item, it added. The venue had been criticised for charging £8.95 for some pints of beer.

"Whilst we know this won't erase the inconvenience and upset caused by the original postponements, we hope it will help everyone have the best possible time on the night."

Earlier on Friday, Keane's gig was rescheduled for October, and the venue said it would "continue to work with Olivia Rodrigo and team to secure new dates" for her.
