Anyone else going tomorrow?

Saw them at Brixton last night and they were on fire Hpunk:punk::guitar:

If you haven't got a ticket I would highly recommend it.

If I'd realised, I probably would have gone along though more out of curiosity than anything else, as they haven't been on my musical radar for the best part of a decade now.

went to see them at the dome earlier this year - very good but not worth taking another days holiday to see them again for me..

Yes - saw them 3 years or so ago when supported by Ian Brown. Great night out!

I was at that one, didn't Ian Brown have a few bottles chucked at him and ended up getting taken offstage by security? Or was that another Ian Brown gig? I was a bit pissed at the time having spent the day in the Lord Nelson. I'm sure it was at least five years ago, as well.

A friend had tickets for the Brighton gig in the summer. Didn't fancy it and it was a bit of a mission getting rid of them. Nobody wanted them, could barely give them away.

I was lucky enough to tour with them and Catatonia in 2000 - Awesome on stage in big arena's; real 'big gig' feel about them from a production side.

Amazing gig again.

Shame James voice was a bit rough with his cold but still great down the front!

Brilliant gig,. they are class. I agree with the comment about poor sound - JDB had to abandon their cover of Rush's "Spirit Of Radio" after about 10 seconds because of feedback, which was a real shame.

I love the fact there was no fannying around with encores - just played the set and then left.

The Manics have only ever played an encore once in their entire gig history (apparently), in their gig in Cuba a few years back.

I seem to recall them playing a cover of It's So Easy by GNFR as part of an encore at Reading 2001.

I was a little the worst for wear though, to be honest!
