Manic Street Preachers have announced they are to play a massive open air gig at Swansea's Liberty Stadium.

This will be the band's biggest Welsh headline show since their sell out concert at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in 1999.

The band, who will be joined by the mighty Super Furry Animals, will play at the Liberty on Saturday, May 28 - a twentieth anniversary performance of their hugely successful fourth album, Everything Must Go.

Manic Street Preachers will perform two sets at the stadium. The first half sees the band perform Everything Must Go in full, the second promises rarities and curios, greatest hits and a few brand new songs.

The band are currently collaborating with BAFTA winning director Kieran Evans (Kelly + Victor, Nowhere is Home) who they worked with on videos for their last two albums in order to create an entirely new visual backdrop for the show based around the album’s iconic artwork. The gig promises to showcase two eras of Manic Street Preachers at their creative peak – then and now.

Public Service Broadcasting, who have also played previously with the band will appear, DJs will be announced soon and details of other celebrations of the anniversary.

Originally released in spring 1996, Everything Must Go was the band’s first massive commercial success.

The record was certified triple platinum in the UK and went on to sell over a million copies and bag multiple Brit awards.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 13 at 9am priced at £39.50 and £55 purchased from gigst.rs/Manics
