A good call this, but sadly Jimi is on a similar jaunt supporting Elbow that directly clashes with the latter dates.

They look bored as hell when they play too.
Yes they are a cheap imitation of The Horrors, but I don't think they're that bad

Still chuckling to myself at Razorlight. Not even them supporting the Manics specifically, just them as a concept.

What about Cate Le Bon?

Oh God, please not! She'll warble during the Manics' set again, God forbid!

Well if you want to go far enough back, then both them and The Horrors are imitations of other bands, and probably wouldn't deny being heavily influenced by any of them.

Personally I like both bands.

They were great when we saw them supporting Idlewild at King Tuts

Scritti Politti are supporting at 3 of the dates according to their guitarist

Excellent news that we (@scrittipolitti) are supporting the @Manics for three dates next month. So excited.

Aw it's a shame The Twilight Sad are only doing the Scottish leg of the tour. I saw them a few times several years ago (they supported Idlewild a couple of times) and thought they were really good.

TTS are doing their own tour quite soonish anyway so might make sense for them to only do a couple.
