Manic Street Preachers and Suede will head out on a huge run of co-headline dates across the UK at the end of this year. The legendary pair of bands will play Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday, October 31 (we’ll have to wait and see if they’ve got anything spooky lined up).
As well as the date in Manchester, they’ll play in Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Bournemouth.
Both bands were pioneering forces of British music in the 1990s, and have continued to release strong music through the 2000s. Suede tour off the back of their acclaimed 2025 record, Antidepressants, while The Manics’ last release also came last year, through their 15th studio album, Critical Thinking.
Announcing the news on their Instagram page, the Manic Street Preachers said: “Manic Street Preachers and Suede join forces once again this autumn for a major UK arena tour – a run of shows across the country with two of the UK’s most iconic bands.”
Last month, Manic Street Preachers played at the Royal Albert Hall for their Teenage Cancer Trust concerts in the first year with Robert Smith as curator. Suede’s last London show came at the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall last summer, though they also played a set of UK dates earlier this year.
