Manic Street Preachers announce 2014 tour, hint at “krautrock” new album
Welsh rockers Manic Street Preachers have announced 10-date tour across the UK in March and April of next year.
The tour will see the band play a homecoming gig in Cardiff, ending with date at London’s Brixton Academy.
Having only recently released new effort Rewind The Film, the band have also said they will preview tracks from upcoming album Futurology on this stint. Of the record James Dean Bradfield told NME: “It’s much more band-based, a tiny bit of krautrock influence… Lyrically, it’s got a European fascination. The landscape of Europe, the malaise of Europe, the malaise of us Brits not feeling part of it. We’re not talking like the Tories, don’t worry – there’s not a song where we opt out of Europe. The lead track is me singing half in English and half in German.”
