Manic Street Preachers + Suede - 2nd July 2024 - Trinity College

Cool. I'd have every Summer gig at Trinity or Iveagh Gardens if I could. Lovely venues and sweet Jesus, the handiness!! I am hoping for a bit of life in there tonight, mind.

I've one still to offload.

think I saw you wandering round with a burger?

You did indeed Scruff. Say hello the next time!

target is confirmed.

That tune ends and you've still got Suede to look forward to. Brilliant!

Not at the front 😜

Ah completely. I was in for Suede, and honestly, only really for the first 2 albums but feck me, Brett is unbelievable. He's corny as **** with all the clapping stuff and the **** dance moves but he's magnetic, I was standing there beaming at him.for the duration. So even though I only got 'The 2 of us' from Dog Man Star, song of he night, by the way, I loved every second of that. Manics very good too, great night all in all, lovely to see @Thundercats Ho in there and to almost meet @scruff monkey .

Edit: Sorry, New Generation also. Also deadly.

Just shows you. Horses for courses.

That's the deal when you've double headliners, apparently. 17 songs apiece.

First time seeing Suede.

He's a ridiculously good front man, with the self awareness to know it's not to be taken too seriously: "are you all professional musicians"

Fantastic band all 'round and the.post-reniunion material is solid.

Not my favourite Manics set I've seen but very good. From Despair and All Surface were highlights.

Good night.

What a great gig. How have I not seen Suede live more often? Brett was amazing - a real highlight of an extremely busy last 5 weeks of gigs and festivals.

Animal Nitrate and The Drowners early doors were both top notch, New Generation live was better than I remember it, and then So Young and Metal Mickey towards the ends had me bouncing around in likely very uncool fashion. She Still Leads Me On, Shadow Self and indeed the unreleased Antidepressants all sounded great to me too.

I won’t go on as much about the Manics but excellent stuff from them as well - privileged to see those two bands (and indeed many other talented musicians over the last 5 weeks).

Brett's dancing and crowd surfing was great to see . He was everywhere !

Loved both sets and especially Suede so was happy with the order of play .Manics didn't disappoint either, great band .

Love Trinity as a venue.. just big enough for atmosphere but still feels cosy .

They're two seriously great frontmen! Really enjoyed that gig!
