I’m usually suspect of reunion tours but I’d love to see the Stone Roses in 2012. More from the Guardian:
Some will say they are doing it for fool’s gold, others will wonder if – as they enter middle age – they just wanna be adored. But fans of theStone Roses will only care about one thing: the band have confirmed they are reuniting, with two gigs planned for next year, followed by a world tour.
They will be playing new songs, but when asked about a new album Ian Brown said: “We hope so, but we said that before didn’t we?” He added: “We’ll ride this until the wheels come off, like we did last time.”
Despite legal wrangling with record companies, fall-outs and vehement assurances they would never get back together, the original lineup – singer Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield and drummer Alan “Reni” Wren – announced two gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester on 29 and 30 June 2012.
