Delighted! The last time I saw these guys I was in Sinnots bar having come in to watch Fight Like Apes and Pilotlight and they just showed up and absolutely blew us away. All the hits, cutback acoustic style. Amazing.
Now the Manic Street Preachers will be playing in Dublin in my favourite venue The Olympia Theatre on May 16th 2011 as part of a small European tour. They will have support on all the shows from The Joy Formidable. A fan Pre Sale starts HERE – at 9:00am on Thursday 17th Feb before going on general sale at 9:00 am on Friday 18th Feb
Bassist Nicky Wire commented
“We are really looking forward to playing Cardiff CIA again as it has been over three years since we played there. It will be a great warm up for the festival season and a perfect way to end what has been a brilliant campaign for Postcards From A Young Man. On the last dates (and these coming up) we’ve been playing lots of songs from our past too which has been really enjoyable.“
