Their continued run of album success has marked a long, controversial and pioneering career.

The meninblack celebrate their 40th anniversary year with a series of UK dates. The band intend to feature a selection of material from every studio album of their 40 year career, from their debut album Rattus Norvegicus to their most recent acclaimed album, Giants.
