James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire and Sean Moore will play two gigs in Wales on the tour

Manic Street Preachers and Suede will jointly headline the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in 2024.

The indie bands are set to tour the UK and Ireland together, and have also announced a gig at Cardiff Castle.

They toured the USA together in 2022, and alternated who closed the sold-out shows.

In 2024, the Manics, from Blackwood, Caerphilly, and Suede, from London, will perform seven joint shows.
