Two iconic indie rock bands, Manic Street Preachers and Suede, left fans thrilled as they revealed their plans for a joint UK and Ireland tour scheduled for the summer of 2024. The highly-anticipated tour will see the two bands share the stage once again, promising an unforgettable musical experience for their dedicated fanbase.
This exciting announcement comes after their successful joint European tour in 1993 and a recent US tour last year. Manic Street Preachers and Suede have also scheduled joint performances in Japan for the upcoming winter season, making this collaboration a global sensation.
The UK and Ireland tour, scheduled for June and July 2024, is set to be a highlight of the summer concert season. Fans can expect each band to perform about 16 tracks. They will both take the stage and perform 75-minute sets each.
Manic Street Preachers' bassist and lyricist, Nick Wire, expressed his excitement about the upcoming tour during a recent appearance on BBC Breakfast.
"We've both got a dedicated fanbase, but we do share a gene pool and a rabid denomination of fans. It's because we never belonged to anything apart from ourselves. We were never part of grunge; we were never part of Britpop. And we just looked better than anyone back then anyway," he said.
Brett Anderson, the frontman of Suede, also spoke about the collaboration, saying:
"It's really inspiring to have a band that you love playing with you. It's like a friendly competition."
Tickets for Manic Street Preachers and Suede's tour will go on sale at 9 am BST on Friday, October 13 via Ticketmaster.
