MANIC Street Preachers are to play their Brit Award-winning album, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, in full.

The Welsh band are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their fifth record which sold more than five million copies and topped the charts.

It was preceded by the group’s first number one single, If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next, and three more singles were released from the album including You Stole The Sun From My Heart, Tsunami, and The Everlasting.

The Manics won Best Album and Best Group at the Brits in the year that the album came out.

This Is My Truth also helped the trio win all the big prizes at the NME Awards including Best Band, Best Album, Best Live Act, Best Single and Best Video while the group were awarded the Best Band in the World Award by Q Magazine.

Bassist Nicky Wire recently said to the NME “I’ve just been listening to ‘This Is My Truth’ a lot. It’s such a deep and heavy album for a record that was so big. It just makes you realise that you can push the limits and have success.”

This Is My Truth will be played in full at The Ritz in Manchester on May 20 and 21 alongside other rarities from that era and favourite tracks.

The band released their 13th album, Resistance Is Futile, earlier this year and played their biggest tour in a decade.

They headlined several festivals over the summer and all the singles including International Blue and Hold Me Live A Heaven were A-listed across all the major radio stations.

The album has also been nominated for the 2018 Welsh Music Prize. Tickets go on sale on Friday. Visit gigst.rs/Manics
