Tickets for the Stone Roses‘ latest outdoor UK shows are about to go on sale today.
The Manchester band’s reunion has been defined by the huge crowds which have flocked to Heaton Park, the Etihad Stadium and beyond since 2012, and there’ll be more thousands in attendance, as Michael Buffer would say, at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 17th and Hampden Park in Glasgow on June 24th. In between is an indoor gig at Belfast’s SSE Arena on June 13th.
There’s also finally been brand new music added to the comeback this year, the ‘All For One‘ and ‘Beautiful Thing‘ singles coming in quick succession in the spring.
Live4ever’s writers had their say on the former, thoughts ranging from a ‘decent, direct pop song which offers glimmers of the baggy magic’, to it being ‘nowhere near worthy to lick up the classic crumbs left behind by their debut album’.
