With support from Super Furry Animals and Stereophonics, who I don't remember at all... Damn they had Kenickie instead at other dates! Suede were also in town tonight.

I was at this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1996. I saw Manic Street Preachers at least 5 times; Phoenix Festival @ Avon Park Raceway ('96), Brixton Academy ('96), Kentish Town Forum (1996), V99 @ Hylands Park (1999), + Suede and Manics @ Dreamland (2024), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of every gig I was at from '87 to 2026. A natural step from my Best gigs of all time weblog post. Yeah I know very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun reminiscing about these things.
