Manic Street Preachers are making their return to the stage in 2025 to celebrate their upcoming album, Critical Thinking.
Witness live performances of their new singles and hit tracks like ‘Decline & Fall’, ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’ and ‘A Design for Life’. With a sound that channels both euphoria and gritty realism, the Manics continue to push creative boundaries.
