"Манчестер Арена" рассчитана на 21 тысячу человек и расположена к северу от центра города. Объект, открытый в 1995 году, считает крупнейшим крытым стадионом в странах Евросоюза.
Взрыв в Манчестере стал самым крупным терактом в Британии после трагедии в лондонском метро в 2005 году, когда погибли более 50 человек.
