Hey, headline has most of the details, but you can have more if you read on about the Stone Roses reunion gigs at Heaton Park.

Heaton Park, for the non-locals out there, is about four miles outside of Manchester. Huge open space, ideal for a huge open gig. Plenty have played there - Oasis, Take That, you know the kind of gigs.

Now the Stone Roses too. No doubt with hefty support and a few Manchester DJs from 'back in the day' hanging on their coat tails. You know who we're talking about.

The gigs have been confirmed for Heaton Park on 29th and 30th June, with the group playing old stuff and new material - they're already recording a new album, which will be released 'soon'. There are also rumours about them headlining Reading and Leeds - no doubt hoping to remove the memories of the band's last appearance there. A world tour is then to follow.

Tickets go on sale via Seetickets on Friday at 9:30am, well as Gigsandtours.com, Ticketmaster.co.uk and Ticketline.co.uk. All will have 'hospitality packages' available too, should you have got rich in our middle age.

Obviously this means no Seahorses reunion and no more art from Squire for the next year or so. You win some...
