Manic Street Preachers to announce Holy Bible tour dates on Tuesday

Manic Street Preachers played a special Holy Bible show for BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes series yesterday, where they revealed that more tour dates are coming on Tuesday.

There has been much debate as to whether the band will play gigs to commemorate their seminal 1994 classic LP - espcially after they dropped a number of tracks at their Futurology launch gig at Rough Trade last month. 

According to Manics fans who were at yesterday's Mastertapes show, which included a Q&A afterwards, the speculation may soon be over - the band are set to reveal tour news on Tuesday morning (pushed back from Monday).

Straight from the Wire's mouth: HOLY BIBLE TOUR NEWS on Monday morning @manicstmania #mastertapes

Also #manics fans - the announcement comes on Tuesday and not Monday.

He continued: "If you say 'that's it, I'm never playing that song again' and think there's some kind of Brownie points to be won by making that stance, then that's just sad. "If you're defined by something you've done that you think is awful, then you just end up making wrong decisions all over the place. There are obviously moments like 'The Love Of Richard Nixon' that are not hard to stand by, but hard to see why we released it as the first single for our album. More often than not, we still get some kind of power and rush because we were so obsessed and in the moment when we created it.
