Manic Street Preachers have announced details of a small UK arena tour, which will take place in May.

The band will play a total of three dates at Llandudno Cymru Arena on May 18, Wolverhampton Civic Hall on May 19 and the Cardif CIA on May 21.

Manic Street Preachers are set to release the title track from their latest album 'Postcards From A Young Man’ as a single on February 28.

Bassist Nicky Wire said "It will be a great warm up for the festival season and a perfect way to end what has been a brilliant campaign for Postcards From A Young Man."

Tickets for their UK dates go on sale this Friday (February 18) at 9am.
