Artist Bio

Suede are a foundational British alternative-rock band whose glam influence, dramatic songwriting and albums such as Dog Man Star and Coming Up helped define Britpop’s artier edge. Their current cycle includes major UK arenas, anniversary editions and a confirmed January 2027 appearance at Rockin'on Sonic in Tokyo. That explicit Festival Front makes them especially valuable to the model.
