Returning to Cardiff Castle holds a special place in the hearts of the Manic Street Preachers, comprised of James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore, and Nicky Wire. The band has previously headlined album anniversary shows at this iconic venue, celebrating their legendary 1990s releases such as “Holy Bible” in 2015 and “This is My Truth Tell Me Yours” in 2019. The 20th anniversary of “Everything Must Go” was commemorated in Swansea, making this upcoming return to Cardiff Castle all the more triumphant.
Fans were treated to a spectacular performance by the trio at Glastonbury, where they showcased their classic Manics energy and repertoire. Additionally, the summer brought exciting news for enthusiasts as the band confirmed they were back in the studio, diligently working on their 15th album, a highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s “The Ultra Vivid Lament.”
So, mark your calendars, secure your tickets, and get ready to relive the ’90s with the Manic Street Preachers and Suede as they light up Cardiff Castle in the summer of 2024. It’s a musical event you won’t want to miss!
Nick Saunders from DEPOT Live said: “We delivered 13 epic shows over the course of a few weeks at the castle this summer – and next year, there’ll be even more; we’re excited to announce Suede and the Manic Street Preachers as the first artists out of the bag – expect plenty more exciting announcements to come.”
Cuffe and Taylor co-founder Peter Taylor added: “We are delighted to be working with the Depot Live team once again after a brilliant season of shows with them this year.
“And what a way to kick off the 2024 season. The Manic Street Preachers are Welsh legends so we are particularly thrilled they are the first headliners to be announced for next summer alongside Suede.
“This will be a brilliant night and we look forward to announcing even more brilliant headline artists over the coming weeks and months.”
