Manic Street Preachers and Suede played the first gig of their co-headline tour of the UK last night. Check out the setlist below.The two indie giants kicked off their joint tour last night at Llangollen International Eisteddfod 2024.
The bands first toured Europe together back in 1993, before last year they recreated the line-up for a string of US shows. They’ll also return for joint dates in Japan this winter.On their UK and Ireland tour, each act will perform for approximately 75 minutes, taking it in turns to play last each evening.
Last night, Manic Street Preachers took the finale spot, closing the show with ‘If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next’ from their 1998 album ‘This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours’.Prior to the tour, Manics’ frontman James Dean Bradfield promised that the Manics would deliver “a banging greatest hits set – as simple as that”. And it seemed they delivered, with the band playing hits from each era of their almost 40-year career.Speaking to NME ahead of their US tour together in 2022, Bradfield recalled their joint 1994 tour, when the Manics were promoting their seminal third album ‘The Holy Bible’.
“God almighty, that’s a long time ago, isn’t it? I vividly remember those gigs because Richey [Edwards, now missing guitarist] was coming back from what you might call his emotional event and was insisting that he wanted to come on the road,” he said. “We were treading softly with Richey at some points, and Suede had lost Bernard Butler as their guitarist and were going through the transition of Richard Oakes coming into the band.Manic Street Preachers, so relevant even today.
