Following the huge success of their co-headline summer tour two years ago, Manic Street Preachers and Suede are joining forces once again for a UK tour.

In their biggest collaboration yet, the Manics and Suede will be heading indoors for nine huge arena concerts in front of tens of thousands of fans.

The tour opens at Glasgow OVO Hydro on Wednesday 28th October, and the two legendary bands then play Leeds, Manchester, two nights in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Nottingham before concluding at Bournemouth International Centre on Thursday 12th November.

Like their last co-headline tour, Manic Street Preachers and Suede will take turns closing the concerts.

Tickets go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 9.30am on Friday 1st May.

Almost four decades into their respective distinguished careers, both bands released new studio material in 2025 to widespread acclaim and significant commercial success.

Suede unleashed their 10th studio album ‘Antidepressants’ last September, and they supported its release with a global tour.

Boasting the Absolute Radio playlisted anthem ‘Decline and Fall’, Manic Street Preachers’ 15th long-player ‘Critical Thinking’ landed in February 2025.
