Welsh legends of music Manic Street Preachers have announced some new shows in the UK and abroad for May, including two dates in their native country. Have a peek below to see what they are and when.
May: 13 - Hamburg, Markthalle 14 - Amsterdam, Melkweg 16 - Dublin, Olympia 18 - Llandudno, Cymru Arena 19 - Wolverhampton, Civic Hall 21 - Cardiff, CIA
Support on all of those shows comes from The Joy Formidable. Speaking of the Cardiff show, Nicky Wire (probably wearing shades at the time) said:
“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.”
There's also a video for 'Postcards From A Young Man', which was recently released. You can watch it below:
