Manic Street Preachers / May 2011 UK Tour

By Mary Chang on Wednesday, 16th February 2011 at 9:30 am

Manic Street Preachers have announced a handful of dates for March. They will play the Cardiff International Arena on the 21st of May, the first time the band has headlined in the city since 2007. Nicky Wire has commented, “we are really looking forward to playing Cardiff CIA again as it has been over 3 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.“

Support on all shows will be the Joy Formidable. Tickets go on sale this Friday (the 18th of February) at 9 AM.

Wednesday 18th May 2011 – Llandudno Arena
Thursday 19th May 2011 – Wolverhampton Civic Hall
Saturday 21st May 2011 – Cardiff International Arena
