    As they've said the 2nd part of the show will be covers, b-sides and rarities, I wonder what they'll play?

    Hoping for Sepia, Prologue to History, Parick Bateman and Comfort Comes

    Some friends are organising a "Manics disco" after the gig, they don't have a venue yet. Will post when they let me know, they have me designing posters with no feckin information to put on them!

    I don't always see their plans come to fruition though. Fingers crossed.

    Manic Street Preachers have revealed more details about their upcoming 20th anniversary shows for The Holy Bible - announcing that they'll play two shows each night, and will have DJs instead of a support act.

    As previously reported, the the band's first set will be the 1994 album The Holy Bible performed in full - starting 'promptly' at 8.45pm each night. Then, after a ten-minute break, the band will play a second set featuring songs from their excellent 2014 LP Futurology as well as "curios and a handful of classic hits".
