The 90s icons played the north London green space as part of their joint headline tour. Get the highlights here.

Suede and Manic Street Preachers played epic career-spanning sets last night (18th July) making the penultimate stop on their sold-out, co-headline tour.

First to take the stage were the Welsh rockers, who kicked off their 17-track set with their classic 1991 single You Love Us.

James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire and Sean Moor also treated fans to some of their biggest hits and live favourites from across the decades, including Everything Must Go, Motorcycle Emptiness, You Stole the Sun From My Heart, Your Love Alone Is Not Enough, A Design for Life and the ever-enduring If You tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.

Kicking things off with Turn Off Your Brain and Yell from their 2022 Autofiction album, the Britpop icons treated the crowds to a career-spanning setlist, which included the likes of Trash, Animal Nitrate, We Are The Pigs, The Drowners and Filmstar, while giving Still Life its tour debut.

After a frankly stunning vocal performance of The Wild Ones, with Richard Oakes accompanying Anderson on acoustic guitar, the band ended their set with a trio of favourites; So Young, Metal Mickey and the undeniably iconic Beautiful Ones.
