Manic Street Preachers are taking their ‘The Holy Bible’ shows to North America

After a late-2014 celebratory run in the UK, Manic Street Preachers have announced plans to take their ‘The Holy Bible’ anniversary shows across the Atlantic.

Five dates have been announced for a North American tour, with shows scheduled in for Washington DC, New York, Boston, Toronto and Chicago. These will be the Manics’ first US shows for six years.

Last December, 20th anniversary shows closed out with a triumphant trio of nights at London Roundhouse. The band also visited Manchester, Dublin and Glasgow.

Dates for the North American shows:
