Monday 26 June
6 Music Artist in Residence
9pm-10pm, BBC 6 Music and BBC iPlayer

Following their performance at Glastonbury 2023, Manic Street Preachers continue their series of Artist in Residence all this week (Monday 26 Thursday 29 June, 9pm-10pm). The iconic band performed a blistering set at Clwb Ifor Bach for the 6 Music Festival in 2022, including a memorable cover of Borderline by Madonna, finally fulfilling a 32 year promise after they were booked to play the venue, but couldn’t as they needed to sign their new record contract.

The band says: “We’re thrilled to be 6 Music’s Artist in Residence in June. Join us to hear our Glastonbury anthems, musical inspirations and why 1985 was the greatest year for music, ever.”

6 Music's Artist In Residence is a journey into the musical soul of an artist, based around a theme or mood. Each episode finds the host playing records that have informed specific periods of their life.
