Two of the UK’s most pioneering and celebrated bands Suede and Manic Street Preachers have today announced a co-headline arena tour for autumn 2026.
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’. The band’s tack-sharp 2025 album, ‘Critical Thinking’, scratches furiously at the anxieties of the social media age. Widely acclaimed across press and radio, Record Collector summed up their enduring relevance: “All these years later, they’re needed more than ever.”
Suede are Platinum-selling, Mercury Prize winning, NME Godlike Genius-certified 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. The London Evening Standard described them as “the most visceral live act on the planet.”
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.
