Suede have announced a UK headline tour – due to kick off in January 2026 – to mark the band’s upcoming album, ‘Antidepressants’.
The British icons 10th studio album is set to hit the shelves on September 5 and will be their first release since 2022’s ‘Autofiction’. The album has already been previewed with four singles – the title track ‘Antidepressants’, ‘Disintegrate’, ‘Trance State’, and ‘Dancing With The Europeans’ – which hint at the band moving towards a more frentic, post-punk direction compared to their usual ‘art-rock’ sound.
The ‘Animal Nitrate’ rockers will kick off their 2026 tour on January 30 in Folkestone before heading to Portsmouth, Liverpool, Cambridge and more. Keep reading to see every tour date and see if the Britpop legends are heading near you.
Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday August 29, and you’ll be able to buy tickets from here.
Frontman Brett Anderson recently spoke to NME about the inspiration behind the band’s latest single, ‘Dancing With The Europeans, being “a gig we did a couple of years ago in Spain” as well as opening up about the power of playing live music.
In the interview, Anderson said: “Playing live is all about confidence – or the illusion of confidence, which is the same thing. People don’t want to see a stumbling, apologetic performer – they want to see someone who seems to command a sense of magic.
“It’s a quasi-religious thing. The lead singer is the high priest and the audience are the acolytes. That sounds hierarchical, but you’re all after the same thing. You’re all after the sense of connection: you’re doing something that’s bigger than any individual. We have it in politics, we have it in sport, and we have it in music as well.”
Anderson continued, highlighting the importance of connection: “When it goes well with Suede, I do feel like there’s a real magic in the room. I’ve learned to get better at manufacturing that magic, I love getting up close to the audience physically. I love touching them, getting that feedback, diving in there. I love the messy drama of playing gigs.”
