MANIC STREET PREACHERS & SUEDE ANNOUNCE CO-HEADLINE UK ARENA TOUR
Manic Street Preachers and Suede have announced a co-headline tour of some of the UK’s biggest arenas for autumn 2026. The tour kicks off at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 28th October, before hitting stages in Leeds, Manchester’s massive new Co-op Live, Cardiff Utilita Arena over two nights, London’s O2, Birmingham, Nottingham and Bournemouth.
One of the most influential and iconic rock bands to emerge from Wales, Manic Street Preachers have been a truly unique musical force since the release of their 1992 debut, ‘Generation Terrorists’. Since their earliest live shows, Manic Street Preachers have nurtured a devoted global following, with fans travelling to see them headline festivals from Glastonbury to Reading & Leeds—and everywhere in between. Their live performances are extraordinary communal experiences for die-hard fans and newcomers alike. Early classics such as ‘You Love Us’ and ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ sit alongside major chart hits, including the No. 1 single ‘If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next’ and the peerless ‘A Design for Life’, as well as newer songs like ‘Decline & Fall’ and ‘Hiding in Plain Sight’.
Suede are Platinum-selling, Mercury Prize winning giants of British independent music. Since the release of 2022’s critically acclaimed ninth album Autofiction, their highest-charting record in over 20 years which debuted at No.2 in the UK Album Chart, the band have performed to the largest audiences of their career at shows in more than 14 different countries.
Last year saw Suede release their highly anticipated tenth studio album Antidepressants, which received widespread acclaim. Described by frontman Brett Anderson as their post-punk record, the album follows the punk-influenced style of ‘Autofiction’ and channels the fire and vitality of the band’s celebrated live performances. Suede launched Antidepressants with Suede Takeover: a sold-out month-long residency at London’s Southbank Centre presenting the band’s live show in completely new ways.
This co-headline arena tour marks the biggest collaboration to date for both legendary bands and offers a unique opportunity to experience their renowned live performances.
