Leaving the 20th Century is a recording of the so-called Manic Millennium concert by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, released 2000. The concert, which also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the band, was performed on the New Year's Eve night 1999-2000 at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, in front of around 50 000 fans. The event became international as the final song of the event was broadcast live all over the world through satellites.

The year changes between 'Motorcycle Emptiness' and the cover of 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You', the latter song (and the one after it) performed solo by James Dean Bradfield with an acoustic guitar.

In-between some of the tracks there are interview clips where the band discusses their history and the songs.

The subtitled English lyrics, available as an extra, contain numerous amounts of errors when compared to the official lyrics in the band's album booklets.

The concert is available on VHS and DVD.
