A new concert film marking 25 years of the Manic Street Preachers classic album, Holy Bible is set to be released.

It was the first time the band had performed the album in its entirety, Holy Bible was the last album to feature bandmate Richey Edwards before his disappearance in 1995.
The captured footage shows the band bringing a whole range of new emotions and energy to a collection of songs that have long been ingrained into the minds of Manics fans.
Shot over the ten dates of the tour, fans can relive the explosive performances that the band brought to the stage each night.
The documentary was filmed by Kieran Evans, who has previously collaborated with the Manics on the 2012 documentary Culture, Alienation, Boredom and Despair, as well as shooting a series of music videos for singles from the album Rewind the Film.
