Manic Street Preachers & Suede

Two of the UK’s most pioneering and celebrated bands, Manic Street Preachers and Suede, have announced a co-headline UK arena tour for autumn 2026, including a major date at Co-op Live. With Manic Street Preachers’ legacy of sharp, politically charged songwriting and anthemic rock, alongside Suede’s trailblazing role in shaping Britpop with their cinematic sound and electrifying live shows, this pairing brings together two defining forces in British music.
