Manic Street Preachers played new song "Let's Go To War" for the first time as they ended their UK tour in London last night (April 11). The band offered up a taste of new album Futurology during their headline performance at O2 Academy Brixton with Nicky Wire introducing the track by saying: "Please excuse me if I fuck it up. This is a nice marching song, it's called 'Let's Go To War'."

Manic Street Preachers have revealed they have been asked to appear on Question Time.
