Manic Street Preachers
The New Album ‘Critical Thinking' Out Now

Today, James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire appear at Hay Festival for two special events.
At 4pm, the band join Clive Anderson for a live recording of @bbcradio4’s ‘Loose Ends’, before returning at 8:45pm for an in conversation event with Keith Cameron discussing ‘168 Songs Of Hatred & Failure: A History of Manic Street Preachers’.
30 years ago today, Manic Street Preachers released ‘Everything Must Go’.
From ‘A Design For Life’ and ‘Kevin Carter’ through to the title track itself, the album became a landmark moment in the band’s story and one of the defining British records of the 90s.
Watch a storming version of ‘Everything Must Go’ performed live at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium in 1999 via the band’s official YouTube channel.

Manic Street Preachers have been announced for @coronacapital 2026 in Mexico City.
The band will perform on Sunday 22nd November, marking their first ever show in the country.
Tickets go on sale from Wednesday 27th May.

Released #OnThisDay in 2009, ‘Journal For Plague Lovers’ turns 17 today.
Built around lyrics left behind by Richey Edwards, the album remains one of the most striking and emotionally charged records in the Manics catalogue.
Do you remember hearing it for the first time?

Looking forward to the tour with the magnificent @suedehq in October/November-see you there ❤️❤️❤️
