Hits as “Animal Nitrate”, “The Wild Ones”, “Trash”, “Saturday Night”, “She’s In Fashion” or “Lazy” will echo from the stage set in Arenele Romane on June 4, as Suede are coming to Bucharest. Considered as one of the most influential British bands of the 1990s, together with Blur, Oasis and Pulp, Suede disbanded in 2003, to reunite last year.

At the time the band parted ways, they had released five studio albums, three compilations, three DVDs and 21 singles throughout a 14-year career. After leaving Suede, lead singer Brett Anderson formed The Tears with bandmate Bernard Butler and after that, he started a solo career. Anderson played in Bucharest before, in 2007, at the opening of the Muse concert, also performing Suede songs, as “Beautiful Ones” or “Everything Will Flow”.

Suede’s self-titled first album, in 1993, was referred to, by the specialized media of the tiems, as “the most expected debut album since The Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks. The album received a gold record one week after being launched, surpassing Depeche Mode.

This year, a remastered version of the Suede discography will be released, which will include bonus tracks and some improvements.

The Suede concert is organized by One Event. Tickets are available in the Eventim network, Germanos and Vodafone stores, Carturesti and Humanitas bookstores or online from the site www.eventim.ro. Tickets cost RON 100, 130 and 150 until April 17 and RON 130, 160 and 180 between April 18 – June 4.
