Suede kicked off their anticipated Southbank Centre residency in London with an electrifying performance, showcasing their new album ‘Antidepressants’ in its entirety to an eager audience. The iconic venue buzzed with anticipation as the Britpop legends returned to the stage, marking the start of a unique series of events.

The show, held on August 26, served as a precursor to the September 5 release of ‘Antidepressants’, an album Brett Anderson described as exploring “the tensions of modern life, the paranoia, the anxiety, the neurosis.” This thematic depth promises a poignant and reflective listen for fans, delving into contemporary societal challenges.

Fans at the iconic London music scene venue were treated to a complete rendition of the new record, featuring tracks like ‘Dancing With The Europeans’ and ‘Sweet Kid’, alongside other album highlights such as ‘Broken Music For Broken People’. The intricate setlist provided an immersive experience into the band’s latest creative endeavor.

Frontman Brett Anderson engaged with the crowd, hinting at a third “black and white album” in the coming decade, continuing the thematic and aesthetic journey begun with ‘Autofiction’. This revelation excites fans about the future trajectory of Suede and their commitment to exploring new musical landscapes.

The encore provided a journey through Suede’s post-reformation era, with a selection of rarities from albums such as ‘Bloodsports’ and ‘Night Thoughts’, delighting long-time followers of the Britpop legends. This blend of new material and cherished classics underscored the band’s enduring appeal and expansive catalog.

This initial concert was just the beginning of a six-night takeover at the Southbank Centre, with upcoming events including a documentary screening of ‘Suede: Insatiable Ones’, classic tracks performances with special guests Bloodworm and Gazelle Twin, and an intimate, off-mic show in the Purcell Room.

The residency culminates on September 19 with a groundbreaking full orchestral headline show at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, in collaboration with the renowned Paraorchestra, promising a unique live music experience. This innovative approach highlights Suede’s willingness to experiment and push artistic boundaries.

Previously, Anderson shared insights into his live performance philosophy, emphasizing the raw connection with the audience in smaller venues like Bush Hall, which contrasts with the grandeur and diverse program of the Southbank Centre’s offerings. This dedication to audience engagement is a hallmark of a Suede concert.
