Manic Street Preachers have revealed that they would love to perform their classic album 'The Holy Bible' in full at Glastonbury, sparking rumours that a special anniversary performance could be in the pipeline.
Next year will see the Manics celebrate the 20th anniversary of their post-punk masterpiece. While speaking to BBC Radio6 Music DJ Lauren Laverne earlier today, during a live session at Maida Vale, the band let slip some ideas on how to mark the album's milestone.
Lead vocalist James Dean Bradfield said: "[Our archivist] might have a plan, because we’ve definitely found a lot of 'Holy Bible' material that we didn’t know we had. I don’t mean music, but pictures, notebooks and that sort of thing."
Lyricist and bassist Nicky Wire added: "We’ve wrestled with the idea of doing a gig playing the whole of [the album], but I’m not so sure. I’d like to do it at Glastonbury actually, I really would."
The Manics released their 11th studio album, 'Rewind The Film', last month. They plan to release another studio offering, 'Futurology', in April 2014.
