For the first time in over ten years, The London Suede (also known as Suede around the world) are returning to North America. As if that wasn’t enough good news, Manic Street Preachers will be joining them on a co-headlining tour that kicks on in Vancouver on Nov. 3.
The two iconic UK bands will be alternating who opens and closes each night and Suede is set to headline the Chicago show at the Auditorium Theatre on Nov. 16. The tour will also make stops in Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia and other great cities before it concludes at Toronto’s Massey Hall on Nov. 24.
Brett Anderson of Suede said in a statement, “I can’t think of a band I’d rather share a stage with than the Manic Street Preachers. They have long been an inspiration to us, and I know there are thousands of Suede fans who feel the same. It’s nearly 30 years since we last played together and I think these shows are going to be something really special.”
Manic Street Preachers added, “We first toured with Suede in 1994 when we played with them all across Europe. Back then, it always felt like both our bands shared a certain kind of kinship, both aesthetically and historically. It still feels that way now, nearly three decades later.”
