Manic Street Preachers’ headline gig on Thursday 26 March will be the 150th show at the Hall in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
2025 has seen the Manics in untouchable form — from the release of their hugely acclaimed 15th album, Critical Thinking, to the publication of their truly unique Sunday Times bestselling biography ‘168 Seconds of Hatred and Failure’. Having headlined every like-minded festival in Britain, Manic Street Preachers’ live show is a celebration of the band’s four-decade career, where classics from the early days (Motorcycle Emptiness, You Love Us) and huge singles such as If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next and A Design for Life rub shoulders with an ever-changing list of deep cuts and covers to create an utterly exhilarating gig experience.
The Manics will be joined by fellow Welsh three-piece The Joy Formidable - Ritzy Bryan (vocals, guitar), Rhydian Dafydd (bass, vocals), and Dafydd Cartwright (drums). Fresh from acclaimed solo records and with new music coming in 2026, the band return with fire and the fearless, widescreen sound that defines them.
