Suede and Manic Street Preachers began their joint UK arena tour at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on 28 October, with a new Suede song debuted live and a hint of Generation Terrorists anniversary plans, NME reports.

Suede and Manic Street Preachers opened their co-headline UK arena tour at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Wednesday 28 October, according to NME. The two bands first toured together in 1994 and have since reunited for joint North American dates in 2022 and a UK run in 2024. On each night they alternate between playing first and closing, and in Glasgow the Manics went on first, delivering an 18-song set that began with 'Motorcycle Emptiness' and included 'A Design for Life', acoustic versions of 'From Despair to Where' and 'The Everlasting', and two songs from 'The Holy Bible', which NME says was reissued last week in collaboration with Steven Wilson.

Suede's set included 'Trash', 'Animal Nitrate' and 'Beautiful Ones', along with songs from their latest album, 'Antidepressants'. The band also gave the world premiere of an unreleased song called 'My City', which NME says is expected to appear on an upcoming album. Frontman Brett Anderson told the Glasgow crowd that Suede are 'the anti-nostalgia band' who sometimes indulge themselves a little. He had earlier told NME that the band are deep into work on a follow-up, which he described as another punk-based record without yet defining it.

NME also reports that fans noticed posters at the merchandise stands showing the artwork for the Manics' 1992 debut album 'Generation Terrorists' alongside a QR code sign-up page and the text '18/11/26 10am', which the publication reads as a possible announcement marking the album's 35th anniversary. That is an interpretation of a fan-spotted sign rather than a confirmed announcement, and the band have not been quoted as confirming it. The tour continues on 30 October at Leeds First Direct Arena, with further shows in Manchester, London, Birmingham and other cities over the next couple of weeks. The details here come from a single NME report.
