When it comes to making Glastonbury history, Manic Street Preachers have mad more brushes than most. Whether it's those infamous 'bypass' comments in 1994 or the 'crappergate' fight with Billy Bragg when they brought their own private toilets - the Manics true Glasto veterans.
Their return this year, bringing cuts from their brilliant new album Futurology to Worthy Farm. Known for working with a legend or two as well as supporting the best of new talent, we asked singer James Dean Bradfield and bassist Nicky Wire to pick their personal favourites and must-see acts on the Glastonbury 2014 line-up.
"I wouldn't bother going to see them mind, not at a festival - I wouldn't even see myself because I fucking hate festivals," laughs Wire. "But there's loads of stuff I love."
