Manic Street Preachers and Suede announce joint 2024 UK and Ireland tour
"We never belonged to anything apart from ourselves"
Manic Street Preachers and Suede have announced details of a joint UK and Ireland tour for summer 2024. Check out full dates and ticket details below.
The two indie giants first toured Europe together back in 1993, before last year they recreated the line-up for a US jaunt – with upcoming joint dates to follow in Japan this winter.
Now, they’ve announced details of bringing the tour to the UK and Ireland next June and July, with each act playing for approximately 75 minutes of about 16 songs, and taking it in turns to play last each evening.
“We’ve both got a dedicated fanbase, but we do share a gene pool and a rabid denomination of fans,” Manics bassist and lyricist Nick Wire said on BBC Breakfast this morning. “It’s because we never belonged to anything apart from ourselves. We were never part of grunge, we never part of Britpop.”
He added: “And we just looked better than anyone back then anyway.”
Suede frontman Brett Anderson said: “It’s really inspiring to have a band that you love playing with you. It’s like a friendly competition.”
Both bands are survivors of the ’90s – as well as alumni of the NME Godlike Genius Award. Last year, Manics frontman James Dean Bradfield explained a greater “symmetry” between the Manics and Suede.
“A lot of bands were quite short on glamour at that point [in the early 90s],” he said. “They shared the same DNA with us of trading on an underground customised glamour. They had these dystopian, J.G. Ballard landscapes in a lot of the songs, so along those lines we definitely fitted. We were both quite visceral live bands too. Brett is one loud motherfucker on stage! They kind of share the same path as us. They’ve been through a few things and they’re still here.”
The Manics and Suede were also lumped in with the Britpop movement of the ’90s. Suede had always vocally rejected their place in the genre, while Bradfield said they were able to “switch off to stuff like that”.
“We’d been around before most of those bands, except Blur,” he said. “We knew that ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’, ‘La Tristessa’, ‘Faster’, ‘Revol’, ‘Motown Junk’ and ‘You Love Us’ had existed way before Britpop had ever been a twinkle in anyone’s reproductive systems. We knew that we were apart from it, but when we got co-opted into it we weren’t bothered at all. It meant that we played to bigger audiences, sold more records and reached more people. Then all these people knew the lyrics to ‘Faster’ and ‘A Design For Life’.
“In politics you say you need to win the middle ground, you need to give up a part of your soul. Suddenly we were winning the middle ground and hadn’t given up any part of our soul.”

The full tour dates for the Manics and Suede joint UK and Ireland tour are below. Tickets are on sale from 9am BST on Friday October 13 and will be available here.

Brett Anderson and James Dean Bradfield tell Chris Evans about Suede and Manics' co-headline tour
Virgin Radio
Brett Anderson and James Dean Bradfield talk to Chris Evans at Virgin Radio.
The tour begins in June at Llangollen in Wales and culminates at London’s Alexandra Palace Park in July. On the two bands teaming-up for the run of shows, Brett told Chris: “We've known each other for a long time, and we've always really enjoyed touring together. We did a tour of the States last year, which was really lovely. We actually had a lot of fun.
“I don't think either of us are super friendly with other bands, but for some reason we feel a bit almost like the kind of the outcasts that hang out together. Like the kids that don't get picked up football, sort of thing, and can just go off and read in the corner."
He added: “We've got mutual respect, which is nice.”
The two bands will take it in turns to headline and support each other. Speaking about standing side-of-stage and watching Suede, Manics’ guitarist and vocalist James said: “Watching Brett, he’s quite feral and rabid as a frontman, you know, he really goes for it. It makes you realise that actually being a proper frontman is being a musician in itself.”
The groups are also playing several dates in Asia together next month in Taiwan, Singapore and Japan. On what he has learned from touring with Suede, the Welsh guitar wizard said: “I've learned about the kind of transference of energy between them. That sounds very pretentious, I know. I would watch Richard [Oakes - guitarist] and Mat [Osman - bassist] as a rhythm section some nights, and they were just so into each other. And then I would just see Richard playing guitar. and he seemed like he was so contained, but he was putting out so much energy in the guitar. And he was doing that trick of not looking at his fretboard much. So he looked like he knew what he was doing. I just thinking ‘I've got to stop looking at my fretboard’.
He added: “And Brett just going mad and nearly knocking himself out with his microphone one night.”
Recalling a gig from back in the day, Brett said: “I once hit Richard on the head. He’d only been in the band for a few months, just after Bernard [Butler] left, and I was sort of swinging the mic round. I think we're in Milan, and suddenly I heard this clunk. And the guitar stopped and I looked over, and there's Richard lying on the floor. He had this big, egg-shaped lump on his head. He didn’t sue me, luckily!”
Speaking about touring with his pal James, Nicky Wire and Sean Moore, the Suede singer said: “Sometimes a song would just go off. I remember listening to If You Tolerate This in LA and it sounded brilliant. The audience was so into it. And you just think, okay, then it's time to up your game. There’s that nice, friendly competition.”
Talking about being a frontman in his 50s, Brett told Chris: “There's an energy that I kind of tap into when I'm on stage. It's showing a different side to the songs and it's a different kind of persona, I think. I enjoy it more and more as I get older, bizarrely enough. You’d think it'd be the other way around, but I kind of feel more comfortable on stage than I did in the 90s.”
On next year’s co-headline tour, he added: “Obviously, there's rabid Manic fans, and there's rabid Suede fans, but there's a whole group of people, there's a kind of a cross-section where they like both bands. So it makes for an interesting evening. And obviously, some people will like one band more than the other or whatever, but we both get out there and play. And there's a sense of friendly competition, which is great as well.”
Regarding who will headline which venue, James explained: “I think there's some obvious choices, like Cardiff Castle, we headline. In the London gig, Suede headline and then after that, somebody else has kind of figured it out.”
