Stone Roses 2012 tour rumours

Contrary to previous rumours, fresh news has emerged suggesting the Roses Heaton Park gigs will actually be the climax of a spring and summer tour that will see them reach America, Europe, UK and finally finishing in Manchester.

If the rumours prove correct, the World Tour is to kick of in North America in May 2012, followed by Europe in June and then onto the UK in late-June.

The series of gigs will climax with the 3 Heaton Park homecoming gigs in Manchester.

If correct, this would leave the Roses free to accept any lucrative festival offers over the summer.
