Not sure what to expect- I saw them way back in 1990 in Glasgow at their peak & it was a totally amazing gig .

Is Reni joining the line up?

It'll be all about Squire and Mani. Brown will be doing his usual bum note extravaganza.

Cant bloody wait if this is true.

yes, reni is involved.

they said at the press conference that after Manchester "Ireland is most important", so can pretty much guarantee a gig here, it's likely already been agreed, if not signed.

the Heaton Park dates are 2 weeks before oxegen, and there's already talk that they've been lined up for TITP, so looks like a trip to Punchestown :mad:

they didn't say it, but they'll be playing V Festival too.

Dear god please NOT Oxegen, but it looks likely unfortunately.

If so I'll be heading to Manchester, less hassle.

Oh no not Oxegen, trip to Manchester would certainly be easier than trying to go there

Doubt Reading would be done if they do V festival. Oxegen does appear likely...look at RATM and Blur.

Please stay away from Poxegen! A few O2 dates would be class, or the Electric Picnic!

I'll be at Oxegen and EP either way so I'd love it if they were at one of them, highly doubt EP, though.

I'd go to Slane if they were there, but it wouldn't be a first preference!

Really? I'd have thought it'd suit them.

The generator cut the sound out twice at that gig and everyone got a refund on their ticket.

They're not even listing on ticketmaster.co.uk yet, if you can find the listing on ticketmaster.ie when it does go on co.uk then im pretty you can buy them in Irish outlets too. Obviously you'd be best off verify this with TM before Friday morning though.

Really hope I will get tickets for this.

I might try and get them using the browser on my mobile. When I was trying to get Glastonbury tickets last year my internet sessions where hanging on my pc for ages. I logged onto the site using my mobile and got through to get my tickets first time.

I don't see why everyone sees it as being such a big deal if the Stone Roses are announced for Oxegen, surely it would be better than someone like the BEP or Beyonce.

Personally I believe they will play Oxegen due to the rate of reforming bands who end up playing, Blink 182 are another example despite their pulling out. Good points made too about Blur and RATM.
