As of July 2, 2024, when the live recording of Manic Street Preachers in Dublin took place, the band was actively promoting their latest album. Prior to this event, they had released "Ultra Vivid Lament" in September 2021, which received positive reviews and marked a continued evolution in their sound, incorporating more orchestral elements.
