Suede first burst onto the scene in the early 1990s, winning the Mercury Music Prize for their self-titled debut album, and delivered classics such as Animal Nitrate, Trash, Stay Together and Beautiful Ones.
After going on hiatus in the early noughties, frontman Brett Anderson, guitarist Richard Oakes, bass player Mat Osman, drummer Simon Gilbert and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Neil Codling reformed in 2010. Since then, Suede have released more albums, including 2022’s acclaimed Autofiction, which reached number two in the charts.
Meanwhile, guitar hero Johnny Marr formed The Smiths in 1982 and later went on to become a member of bands including The Pretenders, The The, Electronic, Modest Mouse and The Cribs, as well as collaborating with the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Ferry and Talking Heads. He has also released five solo albums, the most recent being 2022’s Fever Dreams Pts 1-4.
Previously announced for the Heritage Live concert series at Audley End are Madness with the Lightning Seeds on Fri, 2 August 2024, Richard Ashcroft with Ocean Colour Scene on Saturday 3 August 2024, and Elbow on Sunday 4 August.
