Kay had revealed the rescheduling decision to his fans by saying: “My apologies once again but unfortunately the Co-op Live still isn’t ready and so, as yet, remains untested for a large-scale audience.
“Consequently, they are having to reschedule my two shows yet again (I know I can’t believe it either).”
He added: “It’s very disappointing but your safety is very important, and I won’t compromise that.”
He is now due to appear on 23 and 24 May, with The Black Keys rescheduled to 15 May.
The arena will have a maximum capacity of 23,500. It has been built by City Football Group, owned by billionaire UAE royal and deputy prime minister Sheikh Mansour, along with Oakview Music Group, which was co-founded by US music mogul Irving Azoff.
Harry Styles is among the investors in the venue, which is next to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.
