Two-night concert featuring Manic Street Preachers and Suede at the Utilita Arena Cardiff.
Manic Street Preachers and Suede are playing Utilita Arena Cardiff on 3 and 4 November, two nights with both bands on the same bill. It's a double-header that puts two of the UK's most pioneering and celebrated bands on one stage, and since it runs across two dates, you've got a couple of chances to catch it.
Manic Street Preachers are one of the most influential and iconic rock bands to emerge from Wales, and they've been a unique force since their 1992 debut Generation Terrorists. Their sound pairs classic rock riffs with lyrics that probe the heart of the human condition, and the industry has taken notice over the years: NME named them Godlike Geniuses, Mojo called them Maverick Artists, and they've walked away with Best Band at the BRIT Awards and Inspirations at the Ivor Novello Awards.
Suede are platinum-selling, Mercury Prize-winning giants of British independent music. Their ninth album, Autofiction, came out in 2022 and became their highest-charting record in more than twenty years, debuting at No.2 on the UK Album Chart. Since then, they've played to their largest audiences across more than fourteen countries, so they're arriving in Cardiff on the back of some of their biggest crowds to date.

Both bands have been around since the early nineties, so the bill brings together two acts that have spent decades carving out their own space in British guitar music. The concerts are at Utilita Arena Cardiff on Mary Ann Street, CF10 2EQ, with doors opening at 18:30 on both nights.
