What time are Manic Street Preachers on stage at Cardiff Castle?

Manic Street Preachers are returning to Cardiff Castle on Saturday, June 29 to play a very special homecoming gig.

The gig - sandwiched in between shows from both The Killers (Friday, June 28) and Paul Weller (Sunday, June 30) - will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their number one 1998 album, This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours..

The last time the Blackwood band played the historic venue in the capital was in 2015, where they headlined a sold-out show as part of their 20th anniversary Holy Bible tour.

But, with the sun shining and thousands expected to descend on the capital for the show, the big question for fans is what time does it start?  

Well, here's everything you need to know:

Doors open at 6pm and support act will be on at 7.15pm.

The Manics follow at 8.45pm.

Curfew is 10.30pm.

James, Nicky and Sean will be playing This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours in its entirety for the very first time.

So expect the likes of If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next and You Stole the Sun From My Heart, as well as a few that have never been given a live airing before.

Plus, all the old classics from their back catalogue are bound to make an appearance, such as  Design for Life, Motorcycle Emptiness and You Love Us.
