I hope that they have the sense to film this once in a lifetime show and release it as a DVD with all the songs (none of this bizarre Everything Live edit nonsense).
This. Unless someone knows of an instant cure for panic disorder and/or I can persuade one of my friends to come hand-holding I'm out. Definitely hoping for a DVD. Can't imagine they'd edit it, what would be the point with a gig like this?

I've always wanted to visit London and this would be the ultimate opportunity! Alas, I can't afford a trip abroad now which sucks, because this sounds EPIC! I'm hoping it's either simulcast online, or it gets released on DVD.

Ask for a plane ticket as a Christmas present? Or stowaway on a ship.

James doesn't like having to watch his mistakes, of which I'm sure there will be many (from him and his bandmates). Let's hope they make a better start to this showcase gig than they did with Everything Must Go at the Nynex.

Manic Street Preachers have announced a huge one-off show at London's O2 Arena for later this year.

The Welsh trio will headline the 20,000 capacity venue on December 17 and have told NME that they will be playing each one of the 38 singles which make up their new compilation 'National Treasures' as part of the live set.

Speaking to NME bassist Nicky Wire said of the gig: We've never done anything on this scale before, so we'll be playing for an hour and a half, then there will be a half-an-hour interval, with lots of stuff, film stuff to do. And then we'll finish with another 20 songs.

He continued: It's going to be an immense project, production-wise, screens, videos, you name it. It will be a completely unique thing and we'll never do it again.

The band have indicated that 'National Treasures', which is released on October 31 and this show, will be their last activity for at least two years.

I'll be going to this seeing as I haven't seen them live in over a year (I think it's that long!) Should be a good gig

Wire's actually managed to sell the gig really well. Sounds like the ultimate Manics celebration.

Okay, that was a clever and overlong way of naming one thing (a video screen), so let's name it.

The UFO, Nicky, where's the goddam UFO?

And the mini Stonehenge?

More importantly, are we going to be able to witness the inevitable collapse of JDB after having to prop up a Les Paul for so long? Maybe he'll be swapping the winter colds for chronic backache this year...
