MANIC Street Preachers and Suede’s double headlining show at Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod has SOLD OUT an hour after going on general sale on Friday (October 13).
Fans rushed to buy tickets for the first live music event to be announced for next year’s celebrated peace festival and within an hour of going on sale all tickets to the 5,000 capacity show had been sold.
The indie music legends will headline the magnificent Llangollen Pavilion on Friday, June 28 for the first date in their UK and Ireland tour.
The show is presented in a new partnership between Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
Sarah Ecob, chair of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, said: “As soon as we announced Manic Street Preachers and Suede were opening their tour here, the reaction was amazing and it was clear it was going to sell quickly.
“Having a sold out show an hour after going on general sale is brilliant and we cannot wait to welcome these two incredible artists next summer. This is an amazing start to our partnership with Cuffe and Taylor and we can’t wait to announce more concerts at our peace festival.”
