Stone Roses for V?

[eFestivals]

There's loads of rumours currently flying around about a Stone Roses re-union tour about to be announced.

The info we've had on this (which we believe is accurate, it always has been with stuff like this) leads us to guess that if they'll be doing any festivals along with their own tour, then V festival is the most likely festival to have them.

Shocked V would get them on exclusive, surely would do similar to The Verve and play TITP. Would be a massive coup for V and would get me back if decent undercard, otherwise ill do the tour

I didn't say 'exclusive', I said that V is the most likely fest to have them (said more in relation to R/L goers thinking they'd be there than anything else).

I'd certainly expect them to also play a Scottish fest if they'd going to be doing fests, and that would either be T or Rockness. There's currently reasons to make a guess for either one, but of course it's hugely likely that they'd only do one of them and not the other.

Presumably you've put them down as a SR due to the link between SJM and V

I think T in the Park is very likely, but the problem with V is that The Stone Roses would be a non-event for the vast majority of the V crowd these days (sadly), most of whom probably haven't even heard of them.

I imagine they would have to headline. Would V do that? After all why book some Indie legends when you can book Lady Gaga instead?

I've just had it confirmed to me by sources that The Stone Roses will DEFINITELY be playing at V Festival next summer.

V festival?!?! Would't they suit another festival like Reading, Glasto or even Phenoix?!!

After last time I'm not sure that Reading would want them back anyway; there is no Glasto next year; I believe they're doing Phoenix too.

But most of all, I suspect it's because the promoter who is promoting their tour has a stake in V fest (that's little to do with why I believe they'll do V tho, I have sources telling me that they will).

[The Roses]

Any idea on ticket prices for the Manchester shows?

I presume they will have big support groups too

[gazza_20]

Surely we know by this info that Pheonix will be a later summer fest than earlier one? By that, I mean not till at least July time

[eFestivals]

no one seems to know. We've tried all directions for the info.

as the efests news published earlier today says Phoenix is thought to be sometime in August (tho we can't 100% guarantee that's right).

As we correctly said they'd be new Roses material - and as far as I'm aware, we were the only place that reported that before the press conf - then I reckon it's very likely that everything else is spot on too.

Have you had any more news on Phoenix Festival that you can release, Neil? Thinking of making it my "big" festival to go to next year...

Nope - it seems to be the case that there's a total lock-down on the info about it. But I do know for certain (as of today) that there's a group of people working on it, so it appears to be the case that it's definitely going ahead (I hope it is, else that Roses info we've published about them playing is defo wrong )

looks like il be returning to v for the first time since 08 and the verve then.

Im thinking Stone Roses with Beady Eye underneath

Lady Gaga the other day

I did think Libertines under Roses as Liams ego wouldn't allow Beady Eye to play under anyone and he'd want to headline second stage opposite Gaga but after seeing Liams tweet today saying ''Stone roses getting back together not been this happy since my kids were born'' I think he would.

So Libs to headline second stage against Gaga then.

Thats if Gaga headlines, Roses, Beady Eye and Libs are surey locks.

Surely the other headliner will be a big pop act, can't think of anyone but her.

It'll be someone current in the charts, some urban/dance act. Not sure who's big enough, surely Example is gunna get a big slot but don't think he's big enough for that slot
