Overview

• On August 26 in London, Suede launched a six-night Southbank Centre run by performing their 10th album, Antidepressants, start to finish before its September 5 release.
• The in-the-round show at the Clore Ballroom put fans within arm’s reach as Brett Anderson prowled the stage, plunged into the crowd, and dialed up a raw, wired intensity.
• After the album set, the band played only post-reformation material, with Anderson declaring, “We are the anti-nostalgia band,” in a pointed break from 1990s hits.
• Reviewers described the new songs as a bold, post‑punk turn, highlighting Wire-like riffs, taut dynamics and Anderson’s feral, commanding performance.
• The residency continues with a documentary Q&A on September 12, two special-guest shows on September 13–14, an off‑mic concert on September 17, and a September 19 orchestral finale with the Paraorchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall.
