Manics To Play Epic Singles Set

The band will play ALL of their singles at a show in London in December

Published 1st Sep 2011

The band will play a huge show at the O2 Arena in London on 17 December in support of their forthcoming singles collection, National Treasures (released on 31 October).

The Welsh trio will be playing each one of the 38 singles which make up their new compilation as part of the live set.

Speaking to NME bassist Nicky Wire said of the gig: "We've never done anything on this scale before, so we'll be playing for an hour-and-a-half, then there will be a half-an-hour interval, with lots of stuff, film stuff to do. And then we'll finish with another 20 songs.

He continued: "It's going to be an immense project, production-wise, screens, videos, you name it. It will be a completely unique thing and we'll never do it again."

Tickets for the show are on sale tomorrow (Friday) at 9am.
