The Manic Street Preachers took to the stage on Saturday night at Glastonbury and had fans praising a flawless and high-energy set in blazing evening sunshine.
The Welsh band, known for hits like If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next and Motorcycle Emptiness, was playing nearly 30 years after their first performance at Worthy Farm, which included missing band member Richey Edwards, who has not been since 1995.
The band first played at Glastonbury in 1994 and bass player Nicky Wire shared fond memories. Speaking to the Other Stage crowd, he said: "The first time we played was 1994 and it was the four of us, we had the one and only Richard Edwards with us, oh yes, we had a f**king blast. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, it was f**king fun you know."
