Manic Street Preachers & Suede
BIC Windsor Hall
Two of the UK’s most pioneering and celebrated bands, Manic Street Preachers and Suede, have today announced a co-headline tour of some of the UK’s biggest arenas for autumn 2026. 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
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. Combining classic rock riffs with lyrics that probe the heart of the human condition, they have been recognised as Godlike Geniuses by NME, Maverick Artists by Mojo, Best Band at the BRIT Awards, and Inspirations at the Ivor Novello Awards. 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” in a five-star review of their summer 2024 Alexandra Palace concert.
After an extensive sold-out UK headline tour in January and February, described by The Observer as "an infectious, age-defying energy and vulnerability”, the Dancing With The Europeans Tour took in 19 sold-out shows across Europe. Suede are currently touring in China, and will perform at Summer Sonic in Japan this summer.
