The shows will take place at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena this December.
Announcing two very special shows, Manic Street Preachers will be playing Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena on 4th and 5th December, paying tribute to NHS staff.
The first night will be a free show for NHS staff, and tickets for the second will be on sale to the public here on Friday 10th at 7pm with all profits going to NHS Wales charities.
“We wanted to do something to show our appreciation, love and respect for the NHS and its amazing brave workers,” the group say. “One free show and one fundraising show seemed the best way for us to express our deep gratitude for all their heroic work.”
