Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness Live at Glastonbury

Venue: Worthy Farm Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 28, 2014

In June 2014, when Manic Street Preachers performed "Motorcycle Emptiness" at the Glastonbury Festival, they were celebrating the release of their album "Futurology." This album, which came out in July 2014, marked a significant return to the band's more experimental roots, drawing inspiration from a variety of influences, including European music and art. The live performance at Glastonbury showcased their continued relevance in the rock scene, even after more than two decades since their debut. Notably, "Motorcycle Emptiness," one of their most iconic tracks, was originally released in 1992, emphasizing the band's lasting impact since the early '90s. Their Glastonbury set highlighted their evolution, blending nostalgia with new material, and reaffirmed their status as influential figures in British music.
