The Welsh rock veterans have revealed that 'Together Stronger (C'Mon Wales)' will be coming this Spring, in time for their tour and re-release to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal album, Everything Must Go.
"It's with great pride we can announce the Manics are providing the official Wales Euro 2016 song," say the band. "'Together Stronger (C'mon Wales)', celebrating the team's first appearance in a major tournament for more than half a century, will be released 20th May.

A collaboration saw Manics meet up with Wales National Team Manager, Chris Coleman and members of the Wales squad at training to film an accompanying music video.
Chris Coleman said: “It was fantastic to be involved with such an iconic Welsh band. Manic Street Preachers have been passionate Welsh football supporters and all the lads enjoyed the experience and joined in. It is also great to be supporting such worthwhile causes in the Princes Gate Trust and Tenovus Cancer Care.”
