Both releases support War Child, with £1 from every copy sold going to their work with children affected by conflict. :)
 
The Manic Street Preachers were great at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust. Some deep cuts, a couple of covers, some oldies that have not been played for quite a while… A fantastic night raising money for a great cause!


The price of the special event T-shirt was £25, with 90% of the money going to the charity. It made me wonder of the massive cut some bands get when selling mass-produced T-shirts for £40!

Can’t wait to hear what comes next from the band. Some sort of anniversary celebration being 40 years since they formed in Blackwood?

Autumn co-headline tour with Suede. It was great outdoors in 2024 (I saw them at Cardiff Castle and London’s Alexandra Palace), so I will try and see them indoors at the O2. :)
