Suede and Manic Street Preachers previously told Radio X that their joint UK tour has been "brewing" for 30 years.
Britpop icon Brett Anderson and Manics frontman James Dean Bradfield visited The Evening Show on Radio X and discussed everything from the band's dates to their thirst for making new music.
Asked how the joint tour came about, Anderson told Dan O'Connell: “It’s been brewing for about 30 years. We first toured together in 1994 in Europe and got to know each other, obviously, on that tour really well.
"Then we did a tour of the States last year and that seem to go quite well, so we thought we keep pushing our luck[…] and we haven’t got sick of each other yet”.
Not yet,” quipped James Dean Bradfield. “We know to give each other space in-between interviews. Today or tomorrow, we’ll go our separate ways and then reconvene on the microphone.”

The Motorcycle Emptiness singer revealed the bands first bonded over a musical "kinship" and the fact they both felt like outsiders. However, going on the road together in the early 90s made without stepping on each other's toes plus a joint tour in the States last year made them realise they could do it again.
He explained: “All joking aside, we just had some kinship at the start musically and some kind of outsider ethic at the start and then when we toured with each other, I don’t think we ever stepped on each other’s toes which was quite remarkable as it was a long tour.
“At this point in life it’s just kinda nice to have a new experience, because we toured America and it was good watching someone at the stage every night. It pushed us on. I’d like to think it pushed them on sometimes too.“
