Suede

[bexj]

They absolutely blasted their warm up gig (for AllyPally tomorrow) in Nottingham last night - the band was tight and Brett looked and sounded superb. Shame they aren't in the line up somewhere:-(

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Fairly sure they said they aren't playing any UK/Ire fests, I assume for a reason.

[somecoolusername]

I expected to see them on the line-up, but maybe next year. They really are blistering live; I'm very much looking forward to Ally Pally tomorrow

[rexclark]

Was quite gutted when I heard they weren't doing any uk fests but I'm hoping there'll be an autumn or winter uk tour.

[GlastoSimon]

Hope they tour in some form, amazing to think how many London gigs they've done since reforming.

[MichaelsBeard]

I met Brett Anderson last month and questioned him about Glastonbury - he replied that they aren't doing any UK festivals. Shame.

Ally Pally was effing (new here, are we allowed to swear?) amazing. I think they would have been perfect as Other Stage headliners or even The Park

[milly16]

Spoke to Brett a couple of weeks ago and asked,he gave a hesitant 'no not this year' booooooooooo. Really hoping for them to play,fantastic new album and their gigs,especially Hop Farm were brilliant.

Really surprised they're not playing, the new record is pretty good.

would love to have gone to ally pally but that venue is absolutely horrific. Crap sound, crap views and a hideous journey home.

Suede are a fantastic band, saw them at the O2 a few years back but i have to agree alley pally is such a mission to get back across London on the underground from and catch my local train home in time more then likely I miss it.

If you read some of the reviews published today on various sites (The Quietus especially), thy point out why Ally Pally is the perfect "Suede" venue. I thought it was great as a venue. Polite staff and security, lovely view of London on the way there and back and they even put on an after show party that was halfway decent. No complaints at all.

[evilduck]

It was an amazing gig, just perfect. All the new songs sounded great as well as the old stuff. Luckily my stepdad decided to drive there so I was spared the nightmare journey home!

[somecoolusername]

agreed on the journey to Ally Pally - I live in SE London, so the venue is practically as far away as you can get from me without leaving the city. Thankfully, the journey was relatively painless, and I wasn't left stranded in north London, as I have been after gigs in the past.

Ally Pally is fine for transport! Better than having to go West all the time (Same reason I also don't moan about the o2 )

The walks abit of a killer afterwards though

[Jie Bie]

Seen them at Brixton academy a couple of years back and they were as good as I hoped they would be. Didn't bother travelling down for the Ally Pally gigs as I assumed they would be doing a UK tour for the new album, but as yet no news on that.

Real shame it looks like no chance of seeing them at all at Glastonbury this year, they would have been the perfect alternative to Mumfords as a Sunday night closing act IMO.

Autumn 2013 UK and Europe tour announced today: http://forum.suede.co.uk/read.php?2,64381

[Memory Man]

would have been a good special guest, but we can safely assume that it won't happen given the indication of no sizeable, advertised special guests

[coma girl]

I have given up on them being added so will be trying for tickets for their show at the Barras.

[somecoolusername]

Leeds gig for me

Also, I think it's pretty likely that they'll do Glasto next year

[oneeye]

They're on Jools tonight

[rexclark]

I shall be getting a Glasgow ticket on Friday.

[somecoolusername]

there's a pre-sale tomorrow from 9am at www.suede.co.uk/shop

How popular will these tickets be? I usually avoid pre-sales as they tend to add on more fees but would kick myself if I missed out on tickets in the general sale on Friday.

I have no idea. The Nottingham gig a couple of weeks ago didn't sell out, but that was very short notice and under-publicised. These gigs have been reported by the music press, etc., so demand will naturally be higher. I think you'll be fine with the normal sale, but to avoid fees I think the pre-sale is the better bet. I got my Ally Pally tickets through the Suede store pre-sale and they only added a couple of quid's worth of fees, as opposed to the £6-10 you can expect from major ticket agents

but yeah, doubt it will make a lot of difference either way.
