Andy Sheppard, Redferns

Suedewill play their first three albums in full at consecutive London gigs and re-release re-mastered versions of all five studio LPs later this year, it has been announced.

In a statement released to Spinner, the band revealed that they will perform their self-titled debut at London's Brixton Academy on May 19, 'Dog Man Star' on May 20 and 'Coming Up' on May 21.

Brett Anderson, Mat Osman, Simon Gilbert, Richard Oakes and Neil Codling will then release these albums -- plus 'Head Music' and 'A New Morning' -- on Demon Records in June.

A spokesman told Spinner that the indie rockers had been working on the re-packaged releases with former guitaristBernard Butlerand that there would be bonus audio and visual content, including previously unreleased material and unseen footage.

Anderson said in a statement,"This is the definitive collection of pretty much everything we released in 14 years together -- and some stuff which we didn't.

"It's all re-mastered and includes unreleased, never-before-heard oddities and gems which even I'd forgotten about. It's the complete audio history of a band and, like any band of interest, it's flawed, strange and sometimes beautiful."

Suede, whose sold out performance in December 2010 at London's 02 Arena garnered an ecstatic response from fans and critics, have also been confirmed for the SOS 4.8 Festival in Murcia, Spain, alongsideWhite Lies,Everything EverythingandTwo Door Cinema Club. It takes place on Apr. 30 and May 1.

Tickets for the London shows meanwhile go on sale on Friday, Jan. 28 at 9AM.
