AO Arena says it with flowers this Valentine’s Day

Roses are red, violets are blue, AO Arena wants to celebrate its love for music with you.

On Friday 14 February at 8am, the team from Manchester’s AO Arena will be giving away 100 red roses at Victoria Station.

2025 sees the AO Arena mark 30 years of sharing joy with audiences and they’re sharing a little more with this romantic giveaway.

Each rose will be individually wrapped in a special 30th anniversary edition print featuring all the names of all the artists and acts who have graced the stage over the past three decades.

Do you have lasting memories of a gig or an event? Nostalgic dates with a partner or an unforgettable night out with mates?

Why not give a souvenir rose to someone close to you and revisit those special moments together this Valentine’s Day?

Commuters and early birds will have a head start but make sure you get yourself down there because AO Arena isn’t just saying it with flowers. There’s also a chance to win some surprises including free tickets to an upcoming show at AO Arena.

The Valentine’s Day event isn’t the only giveaway from the AO Arena. AO Arena recently started the birthday celebrations with an exciting competition, where fans dug into their archives and shared photos and videos of their favourite AO moments, to be in for the chance of winning free VIP tickets for a whole year.

Submissions came in by the thousands and brought back memories including first concert throwbacks, family-favourite memories, and videos of Ollie Watkins’s game-changing last minute semi-final goal at last year’s Road to Victory Euros event.

Be a part of AO Arena’s celebrations this year. They’ve really ‘rose’ to the occasion this Valentine’s Day.
