British rock band Suede are back in Australia for the first time since 1999, with three nights at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

Each night, the British alt-rockers will play one album in full: Suede (1993), Dog Man Star (1994) and Coming Up (1996).

This will be followed by a second set covering songs from recent albums, including Autofiction (2022) and Antidepressants (2025).

Formed in the early 1990s, Suede helped start the Britpop era. Fronted by Brett Anderson, the band’s self-titled debut was the fastest-selling British debut album in almost a decade and won the Mercury Prize. Dog Man Star followed in 1994, and Coming Up (1996) became their first UK number one album, with the singles “Trash,” “Beautiful Ones” and “Saturday Night.”

Antidepressants, released in 2025, is their tenth studio album.

Ben Marshall, Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Music, said: “I discovered Suede in 1993, with the impossibly glamorous Brett Anderson staring out at me from the cover of Select and prompting the immediate thought: “Who is THAT?” The band didn’t just look the part. Suede’s epic, visceral sound could veer from ferocious intensity to tortured delicacy, and I admired their wilful refusal to follow fashion.

“Unbelievably, this incendiary live band is only making its second-ever visit to Australia. Their brilliant recorded work often revels in dark, sweeping melodrama, but live, that drama is transmuted into something ferocious, raw and utterly visceral.

“And what a return – a Sydney-only appearance, performing their first three immaculate albums in full – one album a night, night after night – in-the-round, amid the grandeur of the Opera House Concert Hall. It’ll be worth the quarter-century wait.”

Suede’s concerts add to a busy summer season at the Opera House, alongside The Avalanches, Madness, Leon Bridges, Angus & Julia Stone, Dijon, Cat Power, and Tara Clerkin Trio, with more to be announced
