Two of the UK’s most pioneering and celebrated bands Manic Street Preachers and Suede come to Utilita Arena Cardiff for two shows on 3 & 4 November 2026.

One of the most influential and iconic rock bands to emerge from Wales, Manic Street Preachers have been a truly unique musical force since the release of their 1992 debut, ‘Generation Terrorists’. Combining classic rock riffs with lyrics that probe the heart of the human condition, they have been recognised as Godlike Geniuses by NME, Maverick Artists by Mojo, Best Band at the BRIT Awards, and Inspirations at the Ivor Novello Awards.

Suede are Platinum-selling, Mercury Prize winning, NME Godlike Genius-certified giants of British independent music. Since the release of 2022’s critically acclaimed ninth album ‘Autofiction’, their highest-charting record in over 20 years which debuted at No.2 in the UK Album Chart, the band have performed to the largest audiences of their career at shows in more than 14 different countries.
