Interesting, almost entirely weekend dates! Makes the prospect of heading out to some dates in other cities enticingly straightforward

Exactly my thoughts... have they organised this so I can finally achieve my dream of going to every date on a Manics tour?

No mention of support yet, my dreams of them supporting themselves with solo material lives on…

Not sure what date I'll do. Can't do Bristol (closest ) as I may have a marathon the day after (not that one). Shepherds Bush is convenient and decent venue, Barrowlands is a great venue and great crowd usually, but Wolves Civic Hall I've heard good things about but haven't been to yet. Too bad Wales keeps getting shafted with arena and outdoor gigs, would love to go to a home gig with a decent sound system

I've not been to the Wolves Civic since it's major refurb so quite tempted to give a try. Pretty sure the Manics haven't played there since the reopening so will be interesting to see what they say about it seeing as they always used to rave about the old Civic.

I went to the Civic for the first time post refurb to see Elvis Costello a couple of weeks ago. I saw Manics there on the JFPL tour and a few bands in the late seventies.

They have done a pretty good job on the refurb but it is now run by AEG so you get arena styling queuing and security outside the venue, and ruinous bar prices inside; £7.50 for a Moretti.

Hopefully being turned completely corporate hasn't affected the environment.

Saw the Manics there three times there in the late/mid 2000s including the JFPL show you mentioned. Those were the days when Manics fans turned up early to queue to get the barrier. Can't remember which show it was (probably the SATT one) where some fans brought down a table tennis table and played games whilst they were waiting!

I saw them there in 2005 and 2009 (plus 2011, 2014 and 2015), chances are we were at two of the same gigs at least, and they were incredible. They always shine in that venue.

Yep - did the 2007, 2009 and 2011 shows there. All were fantastic (not having seen them in the Richey era I'd consider the PPF to the SATT the best they performed live) - hopefully if I can get tickets for ti the Civic will inspire them again!

Short tour... I might try for a Manchester date, maybe.

[rpmacmurphy]

Pre ordered the album so i get sent a link for the tour presale apparently - I'm working that day so possible difficulties but I can try to burrow myself away some place in time for when they go on sale ...

[hummingbird]

Shepherds bush ? Thats a welcome surprise - will try for that and Manchester

[denton83]

London dates for me.
