Bringing together decades of era-defining music, the tour will see the two legendary acts share stages across some of the country’s biggest venues, kicking off in Glasgow before travelling through Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Bournemouth.

For Manic Street Preachers, the tour continues a legacy that stretches back to their landmark debut Generation Terrorists. Known for combining politically charged lyricism with anthemic rock, the Welsh trio have remained a vital force in British music, with their recent album Critical Thinking exploring the anxieties of the modern digital age while reaffirming their sharp creative edge. Their live shows continue to unite generations of fans, blending early classics with chart-topping singles and newer material in performances that feel as urgent as ever.

Meanwhile, Suede arrive on the back of a remarkable resurgence that has seen them reach new heights decades into their career. Following the success of Autofiction and their tenth studio album Antidepressants, the band have delivered some of the most electrifying shows of their career, reaffirming their reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling live acts. Frontman Brett Anderson continues to lead the band with a visceral intensity that has defined their sound since the Britpop era.

Sofia Isella @ Roundhouse (Kalpesh Patel)

Sofia Isella Captivates London’s Roundhouse On Emotional Tour Finale

Sofia Isella arrives at the Roundhouse like a storm she can barely contain. Emerging from the shadows, backed by ominous electronic textures and silhouettes, she immediately cuts a striking figure. She paces furiously across the stage, hair hanging over her face, constantly tugging at her oversized clothes as though caught between wanting to tear them off and feeling trapped inside them. Her fingers are haphazardly bound with elastic bands, while her face and arms are purposely dirtied. It’s uncomfortable, theatrical and utterly compelling.
