Manic Street Preachers

Overview

Colloquially known as 'The Manics', this Welsh rock group are excited to visit New Zealand for the first time.

The band are pretty impatient to play of selection of their greatest hits to their loyal, and very patient Kiwi fans. Manic Street Preachers have achieved Top 10 status with eight of their albums, and fifteen Top 10 singles - reaching the number one spot on the UK charts three times. This included tracks 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next' and 'The Masses Against The Classes'.

The group have maintained a 'leftist politicalisation and intellectual lyrical style, while adopting a broader alternative rock sound'. Read our previous article here on why they write music.
