MANIC STREET PREACHERS ANNOUCE TOUR

• 24th Mar 2009

Manic Street Preachers have announced details of a short UK tour which includes a show in North Wales at the Llandudno Arena on the 26th of May.

The band, who release album 'Journal For Plague Lovers' on May 18 – a record composed only of lyrics left behind by missing guitarist Richey Edwards, will hit the road following the album's release.

These dates are the first before the band will undoubtedly appear at several festivals this summer before returning to the road later in the year. Much anticipation has been growing over the new album given its genesis being with missing member Richey Edwards, fueling reports of a return to the darker sounds of Holy Bible.

The band play:

Glasgow Barrowlands (May 25)
Llandudno Cymru Arena (26)
London Roundhouse (28-30)
Wolverhampton Civic Hall (June 1)
Brighton Dome (2)
Dublin Olympia (4)
Belfast Ulster Hall (6)

Tickets go on sale from 9.30am (GMT) this Friday (March 27).
