Manic Street Preachers Move Summer Shows At Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena To September
Tuesday, 08 June 2021
Written by Jon Stickler
Manic Street Preachers have moved their upcoming Cardiff shows for a second time.
The Welsh band were due to play a free concert for NHS staff on July 16 at the Motorpoint Arena, followed by a public concert benefitting NHS charities the next day. However, due to the continued concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic, the gigs have been pushed back to September 19 and 20, respectively.
All original tickets remain valid for the corresponding new dates. A statement from the group's management reads:
Manic Street Preachers have moved their previously announced shows in July at the Cardiff Motorpoint Arena to Sunday 19th and Monday 20th September 2021. This is due to the recently announced capacity restrictions and continued uncertainty over if the shows can be played in full in July.
The first night is a free show for NHS staff, the second had tickets available to the public with all profits going to NHS Wales charities.
All tickets remain valid for the rescheduled dates. For anybody who is unable to make the free show for NHS staff should contact Ticketmaster so they can be offered to another member of NHS staff. For anybody who is unable to make the rescheduled date for the fundraising NHS charities show, refunds will be available at point of purchase.
Tickets for Free Concert for NHS staff originally scheduled for Friday 16th July 2021 will only be valid for NEW date of Sunday 19th September 2021.
Tickets for fundraising show for NHS charities originally scheduled for Saturday 17th July 2021 will only be valid for NEW date of Monday 20th September 2021.
The rearranged gigs will precede the Manics' recently announced autumn UK tour in support of their forthcoming 14th studio album, 'The Ultra Vivid Lament', due out on September 3 via Columbia/Sony. Head here to check out their new single Orwellian.
Their live itinerary also includes UK festival sets and a rescheduled gig at The Piece Hall in Halifax on September 10.
