LEGENDARY MANCHESTER BAND The Stones Roses are to play the Phoenix Park in Dublin next summer as part of their comeback tour.
The gig will take place on 5 July and tickets will go on sale next Tuesday at 8am, costing €66.50.
Limited to six per person, they are likely to sell fast with their three hometown shows at Heaton Park near Manchester selling out within minutes.
The band – singer Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield and drummer Alan ‘Reni’ Wren - announced their return in October after 15 years apart.
They broke-up in 1996 over legal wrangles and internal rows about their self-titled first album, widely seen as one of the finest debuts in rock history. It included the hit songs Waterfall, I Wanna be Adored and She Bangs the Drums.
As well as their Heaton Park and Dublin dates, the band have confirmed a spate of summer festival appearances.
At a press conference announcing their comeback in October, the band said they expected to play old and new songs with a new album expected to be released some time next year.
