The band have been touring to celebrate the 20th anniversary of seminal 1994 album The Holy Bible by playing the record in full. Can we expect this at Latitude, or more of a greatest hits set?
"We've been practicing some slightly obscure tracks, and cover verions like 'Crazy Train' by Ozzy Osbourne, and SOS by Abba," bassist and lyricist Nicky Wire told Gigwise, suggesting a greatest hits set with some rarities thrown in, "so maybe they'll get an outig."

Wire opened up about the future of the band. Last year they told Gigwise that their next album would be a heavy album of 'as many gigantic rock riffs as possible, maybe with Jimmy Page'.
"Yeah, but we've made no progress at all," Wire tells Gigwise at the Ivors. "I don't know if it's just because we did two albums so quick and we're 12 albums down the line, we just feel like it's important to kick back a bit really. Touring The Holy Bible, touring America, this Cardiff Castle gig coming up - I just haven't wrote anything at all! I think this is the longest period.
"Maybe we'll never do another one - Futurology was such a brilliant sumation of who we are, who knows? Everything Must Go is 20 years old next year as well, so we might even just do a couple of gigs doing that. I think we need to replenish our inspiration, you know?"
Manic Street Preachers play the Obelisk Arena main stage at 8pm.
