The album, which was their third, shot to Number One in the UK albums chart and spawned five hit singles during the height of Britpop. It also earned the band their second Mercury Prize nomination.
Hit singles like ‘Trash’, ‘Saturday Night’ and ‘Beautiful Ones’ are all staples of their live set today.
The record was the band’s first album featuring Richard Oakes on guitar, following the departure of Bernard Butler around the release of previous album ‘Dog Man Star’ in 1994.
Reflecting on the album, Oakes said: “You’re at your most creative in a band if you’ve got something to kick against and Coming Up was us doing that. It was like, ‘No, we’re not done. Just you watch’.
On September 25 the band will release a special reissue of the album via Demon Music available across multiple formats, featuring restored artwork, bonus tracks from the ‘Coming Up’ era, B-sides, BBC sessions, new Steven Wilson mixes and expanded digital editions. You can pre-order it here.
As a taster the band have shared a rare BBC recording of ‘Beautiful Ones’, performed live for Mark Radcliffe’s BBC Radio 1 Evening Session on August 29, 1996, which you can listen to below.
The original video for ‘Beautiful Ones’ has also been remastered, which you can listen to below.
Next year, the band will also release a 12 inch singles collection next year, beginning with the 30th anniversary pressing of ‘Trash’ on August 14 this year. You can pre-order it here.
The 30th anniversary reissue of ‘Coming Up’ will be released on half-speed mastered black vinyl, pink and blue blended coloured vinyl, a 5CD deluxe box set and digitally.
The 5CD deluxe box set includes the newly mastered original album, 2026 Steven Wilson stereo mixes, all the B-sides from the original single formats, bonus tracks including ‘Shipbuilding’ and ‘Coming Up Live At The BBC’.
Atmos and 5.1 mixes of the Steven Wilson versions will also be available on Blu-ray audio via the Super Deluxe Edition, which will also offer an exclusive green and yellow blended coloured vinyl edition of the 2026 Steven Wilson Stereo Mix.
The digital edition will include all five CDs plus 2026 instrumental mixes, while the Steven Wilson Atmos mixes will also be available via Apple Spatial Audio.
The artwork has also been restored from the original files by the original design team in collaboration with Peter Saville and photographer Nick Knight and includes new sleeve notes by music journalist and biographer Miranda Sawyer.

Reflecting on their legacy in a recent interview with NME, frontman Brett Anderson said: “I’m proud of the ‘90s stuff we did, but I don’t think about it all the time. What I think about is this record and the next one.”
Anderson said that he wouldn’t be able to continue with Suede as an endeavour unless they were fully invested in the present and the future.
“We can talk about [the ’90s], but I’ve not got anything interesting left to say about it,” he admitted. “It doesn’t interest me that much. The last thing I ever wanted Suede to be was a nostalgia act. I’ve always felt like we’re out on our own. I felt like we were out on our own in ‘92, when no one wanted to sing about British life, and we were the only people doing it. I think we survived and now we’re out on our own.
“The zeitgeist shifts and moves around. Sometimes we resonate with that and sometimes we’re diametrically opposed to the zeitgeist, but we just carry on doing our own thing.”
Elsewhere, Suede recently announced an expanded reissue of last year’s ‘Antidepressants’, with new song ’Emotionally Unavailable’.
They are gearing up for a co-headline tour with Manic Street Preachers later this year, having previously done so in 1994, 2022 and 2024, with their first date at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on October 28.
They go on to play in Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Nottingham and Bournemouth, and you can find further details here and any remaining tickets here.
