From the Wikipedia article

The Castlefield Bowl (originally the Castlefield Events Arena and formerly the Castlefield Arena) is an outdoor events pavilion in the inner city conservation area of Castlefield in Manchester, England. Reinvigorated in 1993, the lead architect was DEGW Architects. The tensile roof structure was designed by Rudi Enos, and is a semi-cantilever framework incorporating lighting and sound. The arena is often used for food festivals and music events. The Stone Roses' frontman Ian Brown headlined New Year's Eve 1999, which was the first show at the pavilion. The arena has played host to New Order, The Last Shadow Puppets, Bloc Party, The Strypes, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Noel Gallagher and The Courteeners. In 2010, the arena was used as a Hyundai Fan Park showing all football matches from the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
