Suede are stepping back into the spotlight in 2026 with the announcement of their hauntingly beautiful new run of shows, the Shadows & Silhouettes Tour. Known for blending glam swagger with emotional intensity, the band promises a tour that captures both the romance and the raw edge that have defined their career. From the brooding drama of their early records to the expansive sound of their later releases, this tour is set to be a sweeping celebration of Suede’s enduring artistry and connection with fans across generations.
The Shadows & Silhouettes Tour will begin in the UK before moving across Europe and beyond. Confirmed cities include London at The O2, Manchester’s AO Arena, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, and Birmingham’s Utilita Arena. The European leg will see stops in Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, and Amsterdam, with additional dates planned for North America including New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Chicago. Each venue has been carefully selected to match the band’s atmospheric stage production, promising nights filled with cinematic lighting and immersive soundscapes.
Fans can expect a rich and varied setlist featuring classics like “Animal Nitrate,” “Beautiful Ones,” and “Trash,” alongside deeper cuts and material from their more recent albums. Brett Anderson’s magnetic stage presence and the band’s unmistakable chemistry will be front and center, turning each show into an emotional journey through love, longing, and late-night city dreams. The production is rumored to lean into dramatic visuals, silhouettes, and shadow play, creating a theatrical experience worthy of the tour’s evocative name.
Tickets are expected to generate strong demand when they go on sale, with presales launching ahead of the general release. The Shadows & Silhouettes Tour kicks off in April 2026 and runs through October 2026, marking one of Suede’s most ambitious global outings in years. Fans can mark April 18, 2026, as the official opening night of this highly anticipated return to the world stage.
