Manic Street Preachers have announced a new album and an accompanying arena tour.
The band will put out their 13th LP, 'Resistance is Futile', on April 6 through Columbia, with shows following in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Llandudno, Leeds, London and Cardiff.
Discussing the record, the band said:
“The main themes of ‘Resistance is Futile’ are memory and loss; forgotten history; confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration. It’s obsessively melodic - in many ways referencing both the naive energy of ‘Generation Terrorists’ and the orchestral sweep of ‘Everything Must Go’. After delay and difficulties getting started, the record has come together really quickly over the last few months through a surge of creativity and some old school hard work.”
Tickets for the tour are on sale at 9.30am on November 24, with the Coral set to open.
