Two ’90s legends of British alt-rock are embarking on one vast co-headlining tour of UK arenas this autumn. In October and November 2026 Manic Street Preachers and Suede will play eight UK cities as part of a joint tour.
The tour kicks off in Glasgow and wraps up in Bournemouth, stopping at cities like London, Manchester and Cardiff (where they’ll play two shows). While both bands are best loved for their ’90s and ’00s output, they’re still making music. Last year Suede released their tenth album Antidepressants, while the Manics put out their 15th studio record Critical Thinking.
This is not the first time that Manic Street Preachers and Suede have teamed up for a tour. Far from it, in fact. The two bands linked up in 1994 to tour Europe, joined forces in North America in 2022 and did a joint UK tour in 2024.
Can’t wait to hear big tunes like ‘Beautiful Ones’, ‘A Design For Life’, ‘Animal Nitrate’ and ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ played live by two bands still very much at the top of their game. Here’s how to get tickets for tour.
