MANIC Street Preachers play Leeds First Direct Arena tomorrow on their first arena tour since 2011.

The Welsh trio will be showcasing their 11th studio album, 2013’s Rewind The Film, as well as cherry-picking from a back catalogue that has brought them eight Top Ten albums and 15 Top Ten singles, including the chart toppers If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next and The Masses Against The Classes.

Tomorrow’s gig also gives a sneak preview to songs from their already recorded next album, Futurology, whose release is pencilled in for May, as bassist and lyricist Nicky Wire has told Q Magazine.

“Rewind The Film was a very internalised record. It’s about facing truths. Futurology is dark and nasty but it’s also a celebration of the sense of motion, of travel,” he said.

The album re-links the Manics with producer Alex Silva, their collaborator on 1994’s The Holy Bible, and this time he conducted the sessions at Berlin’s Hansa studios, where David Bowie famously made Heroes. Among the track titles will be Europa Geht Durch Mich, Europe (Dreaming A City) and View From Stow Hill.

“Futurology is The Holy Bible’s bedfellow but it’s got an electronic stomp as well,” Wire said in Q.
