The Stone Roses will cross the Pennines for more UK shows next year.
With outdoor gigs at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 17th and Hampden Park in Glasgow on June 24th coming up as well as an arena show in Belfast on June 13th, the Manchester band have now added two more concerts at the First Direct Arena in Leeds to this period, on June 20th and 21st 2017.
While big UK concerts such as these have undeniably defined the Roses’ reunion since 2012, 2016 will be best remembered for finally delivering new music from the band in the form of All For One and its swift follow-up single Beautiful Thing.
Both were recorded in north London with producer Paul Epworth and could yet herald a first studio album from the band since 1994’s Second Coming.
