15 December, 2014: Manic Street Preachers stormed London with their first of three nights performing The Holy Bible in full at The Roundhouse. Check out our 14 beautiful, exclusive photos from the show here. 

Paying tribute to the 'genius' and 'beautiful blue eyes' of lose comrade Richey Edwards, the band tore through their 1994 seminal album with aplomb - overcoming illness to send The Roundhouse in to a frenzy. While Edwards may not be present for this celebration of some his poetic and acerbic moments, the sheer power of the songs does well to fill the void tonight.

As if that weren't enough, the band returned for a second set of hits, newer tracks and rarities - performing fan favourite B-side 'Donkeys' and inviting incredible German actress Nina Hoss on stage to sing on Futurology highlight 'Europa Geht Durch Mich'. It made for one of the best gigs of the year.
