The band will play back-to-back nights on 11 and 12 April 2025 which will mark their first performance in the city since performing in the East End back in October 2021 on their ‘Ultra Vivid Lament’ tour.

Next year is set to be a busy one for the band as they will release their new album ‘Critical Thinking’ at the end of January. The first ever Manics single with lead vocals from Nicky Wire has already been released which is titled “Hiding in Plain Sight”.
