Hotels for Suede & Manic Street Preachers

Two of British guitar music's most enduring bands share a bill, pairing Suede's glam-tinged intensity with the Manics' anthemic, politically charged rock. Both acts built their names in the same post-punk generation and have spent three decades refining a devoted following. Expect a set weighted heavily towards fan favourites and career highlights rather than deep cuts, with the kind of communal singing-along that comes from songs people have lived with for years. A Friday evening start makes it an easy one to build a night around.

Set beneath its unmistakable tented roof on the Greenwich Peninsula, The O2 is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, drawing global music tours, comedy and sport year-round. The complex wraps the arena in cinemas, restaurants and riverside bars, with the Thames Path and cable car close by. The Jubilee line reaches North Greenwich in minutes, and riverboats offer a scenic alternative. Staying on the peninsula or across in Greenwich means an easy walk or short hop back after the encore.
