Guess the Set List of the Opening Night of the 2025 Tour Competition

Are the Manics hopelessly predictable when it comes to choices for their set lists? There's only one way to find out for sure and that's by successfully predicting what will be in the set for the first night of the 2025 tour.

The rules are simple... Name twenty songs that you think will be in the set. You get one point for successfully predicting a song from Critical Thinking or that has been released as a single (in the UK, as defined as such by Wikipedia) and two points for any other song played (whether it be album track, b side or bizarre cover). Songs have to be played in full to count... One line teases from James don't count.

As I'll be trying to hold off from setlist spoilers the winner may have to wait till after the Wolves show to be declared!

I did think about that, but if we go for twenty songs and they actually play twenty two would you get a point for putting Tolerate last when that's position twenty not twenty two?

I'll score up and declare the winner but I think it's only fair to state that anyone who submitted "Your Love Alone" won't be getting a point as it was "You're Love Alone" on the setlist!
