Fifteen years since they last stepped on a stage together, The Stone Roses have today announced that they are reforming. They will return to play two gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester on 29th and 30th June 2012.
It's been a long time coming, and, for years, it never looked as though it would. But, despite record company wrangles, personal feuds and constant denial that it would ever happen from the band members themselves, they will indeed play the homecoming shows next summer and will follow them with a world tour. The band have been working on new material. However, considering their history with releasing records, it remains to be seen whether a new album will emerge.
So it's finally, finally confirmed. Now we'll just have to see if they are still any good. Anyone who remembers that infamous gig at 1996's Reading Festival will be aware that The Stone Roses could be something of a hit-n-miss band in the live arena, so there is no guarantee that they are going to deliver this time round. Only time will tell. Fingers crossed...
