Stone Roses announce T in the Park and Manchester gigs following two-year hiatus

The Stone Roses have announced gigs at T in the Park and Manchester, following a two-year hiatus.

The Manchester gig will take place at Etihad Stadium on Friday 17 June and Saturday 18 June, while the T in the Park gig will take place at Strathallan Castle, Scotland, on Friday 8 July.

Speculation surrounding the announcement began building after posters featuring the band's iconic 'lemon logo' appeared all over Manchester.

The Manchester-based band formed in 1983 and have only released two albums: their self-titled debut and the follow-up Second Coming.

Since splitting in 1966, they have played together on numerous occasions, including a series of gigs around the world throughout 2012 and 2013.

However, they have remained dormant for the last two years.

Tickets for the gigs go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 6 November.
