The Reunion Tour is an upcoming rock concert tour by The Stone Roses.[1][2][3] The tour is currently scheduled to begin with three homecoming shows in Heaton Park, Manchester. The Heaton Park shows currently hold the record for the fastest selling rock gigs in UK history.[4]

History

Reports of a reunion initially surfaced during April 2011, with several media outlets claiming that singer Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire had reconciled for the first time since Squire left the band in 1996.[5] At the time, these were swiftly denied by Mani.[6]

However, on October 18 of the same year, the band called a press conference to confirm their reunion and two homecoming shows at Heaton Park, Manchester on the June 29 and 30, 2012.[7][8] In addition to this, they also stated their intention to complete a reunion world tour and an album of new material.[9]

All 150,000 tickets for the initial two Heaton Park shows sold out in a record 14 minutes. A third show scheduled for the July 1, 2012 was promptly put on sale.[10] In total, all 220,000 tickets for the shows sold out in 68 minutes - a record for a UK rock gig.

Three further dates were announced on November 7, 2011 for festival headlining slots in Scotland, Spain and Japan.[11]

Schedule

At present only fourteen shows have been announced. However, the band have announced their intention to take the tour 'around the world.'

Whilst no specific dates were announced, during a press conference Ian Brown stated that the band would visit Ireland, with Ian Brown saying "After Manchester, Ireland is always next on our list".[12][13]

Although it has not been confirmed by the band, it has been widely reported that they will play UK dates at V Festival, Hylands Park, Essex and V Festival, Weston Park, Staffordshire.[14] In addition to this, it has also been widely reported that the band will play at the relaunched Phoenix Festival, a British event last held in 1997. The event is owned by promoter Vince Power, who also owns the Benicàssim festival.

On December 15, 2011 the band announced on their Facebook page, that they will play on Germany's Hurricane and Southside Festivals in June[15], and the Sziget Festival in August, 2012.[16]
