Manic Street Preachers & Suede
Two of Britpop's most enduring bands co-headline a UK arena tour, stopping at Manchester's newest arena.
Overview
Manic Street Preachers and Suede formed within a few years of each other and both remain critically respected decades on, making this co-headline pairing one of the more interesting rock tours of the year rather than a straightforward nostalgia lap.
Co-op Live is Manchester's newest large arena, with a capacity built to rival The O2 in London, and this show is one of the bigger rock bookings on its autumn 2026 calendar.
