i have to see this band

Not a chance they would headline Slane or sell it out (thats the whole mentality of a promoter) ticket sales

We can wish, Rolling Stones, Stone Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers ? please

Much as I loved this band, this has bad idea written all over it. Brown sounds like a drunk singing at a party in this clip. I was at Feile and thought it was a good show. It was only when I heard the set later on radio that I realised what an awful singer Brown was- very difficult to hear his voice during the show as everyone was singing every word. I remember Robbie played in a heavier, more rock style than Reni which didn't really suit the early stuff so I'd be tempted to go to hear Reni, Mani and Squire play together. Good luck to them, whether I go or not will depend on ticket price and timing. Wonder if they'll be stuck on the Oxegen bill or standalone show.

See, thats the thing that some people dont realise. It doesnt matter how good/bad Ians voice is because you wont even hear him anyway.

Is there anywhere online to watch the press conference?

Ian Brown's vocals are terrible live these days.........

His vocals were always rubbish. There's a version of i wanna be adored from 1985 on youtube, where he sounds awful.

I saw them in 1995 in Cork and he was all over the shop. Hearing John Squire play though was fooking amazing!

I was expecting the Smiths to reform quicker than this lot.

John Squire would be the main attraction for me here, even though Brown has stage presence, his voice is a load of bollox.

Edit: Please jesus, i hope they dont play in the kip that is Slane.

me-skywalker · 18-10-2011 12:42PM

Dont worry about Brown, every single song will be sung LOUD be every member of the audience, you wont hear him regardles if he sounded like a wailing cat or pavarotti!

Is there any good twitter accounts to follow for this live minute by minute?

If they reform I wouldn't go see them live. Just imagine the amount of scumbags who would off their faces more so than the usual gig. Plus Ian is a sh!te singer live and can't sing the notes he hits on record.

Fine then, don't go

Manchester band The Stone Roses will announce they have re-formed today, and sources tell eFestivals that they will appear at V Festival and the revived Phoenix festival next year.

We believe that the driver for the band reforming is a desire to record a new album as well as the chance to play live.

Our sources tell us the band will be playing V Festival 2012, which will take place at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Essex and Weston Park, Staffordshire over the weekend of Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th August.

Our sources also say that they will also play the Phoenix Festival although Phoenix Festival organisers have denied it.

Phoenix was set up in 1993 by Vince Power when he was part of the Mean Fiddler Group, and cancelled in 1998. The festival previously happened at Long Marston Airfield at Stratford-upon-Avon. eFestivals believes Phoenix Festival will happen sometime in August next year.

The Madchester scene pioneers who included Ian Brown, Mani, and guitarist John Squire, split in 1996 after a terrible performance at Reading Festival without guitarist Squire who had already quit the band.

Singer Ian Brown went on to become a solo star, bass player Mani joined Primal Scream, Squire charted with his band The Seahorses before pursuing an art career, and drummer Reni has been semi-retired since the split 15 years ago.

Our sources say that they will announce The Stone Roses reunion for a full tour next June. There's rumours floating around that this will include gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park. We'll bring you full details of what's announced later today, once we have them.

Confirmed

Heaton Park in Manchester on 29 and 30 June 2012.

Followed by a world tour.

According to the guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/oct/18/stone-roses-reunion-comeback-gigs?newsfeed=true

me-skywalker · 18-10-2011 03:37PM

Would love to be playing in Slane next year!!!

jaykay74 · 18-10-2011 03:39PM

Hmm... Wonder if details of the World Tour will break before tickets for the Manchester shows go on sale this Friday. Would be a lot easier for me to get to a nordic gig.

me-skywalker · 18-10-2011 03:51PM

I can imagine the information flow will be quick and sharp, in order to latch onto the hype machine and media frenzy this will produce. Gig dates, album release dates, interviews with every jock and hack in the country quoting the same cliched 'love overcame hate' motto's and Mani just checkin his online balance every 5mins to reassure himself it was worth it!

It's not a real reunion without Cressa.

DominoDub · 18-10-2011 04:13PM

The band that drinks together stays together:D

I suppose it was inevitable that the mighty Stone Roses would one day need new kitchens.

I don't care about any new material which will inevitably be a letdown. Just get a decent venue and play the fook out of the first two albums and I'll be there.

I wonder does any of them have any alimony issues?

After what happened today, never say never.

Will Irish ticketmaster outlets be selling the tickets for Heaton Park on Friday morning?
