Suede reschedule Brixton Academy shows and announce new Bexhill date
Suede have rescheduled their forthcoming Brixton Academy shows and announced a new date in Bexhill.
The band were set to perform at the O2 Academy Brixton on March 25 and 26 in support of their ninth studio album ‘Autofiction’ as part of their 2023 UK headline tour.
But these have now been postponed to December 15 and 16 after the venue’s license was suspended until April. The decision was taken following the incident at an Asake concert on December 15 in which two people lost their lives. A third remains in a critical condition in hospital.
The band have also announced an extra date at Bexhill De La Warr Pavilion on March 25. Tickets for that show go on sale this Friday at 9am GMT and can be purchased here. All tickets for the Brixton shows remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
Due to recent events at O2 Academy Brixton, the Suede shows in March 2023 will be moving to December 2023.

Meanwhile, during a recent interview with NME, frontman Brett Anderson revealed that Suede have already started working on a “much more experimental” new album. “I’d love to think that our most daring work is ahead of us,” he explained.
“That’s a really exciting prospect – that a band at our stage of our career haven’t just settled for running through the motions. I love making new records: it makes my heart beat faster, it’s what I get up for in the morning.”
