After initially publishing the rumoured Roses tour dates as seen on this site and elsewhere, the NME has re-written their article exposing the dates as incorrect.
Let’s hope the dates are indeed wrong as some of the venues were very unpopular choices with the fans.

Didn’t think they were genuine… The band would need a rest after such a long time away, and three nights at Heaton Park. But I hope they do announce more gigs, and that it is better organised (because a lot of fans – including many from Manchester) have missed out with the online feeding frenzy that occured last Friday morning.
I stll refuse to pay the ridiculous prices that are being demanded. That would be totally against what The Roses always stood for: they never ripped off fans or cashed in (although Silvertone have, many times!), but I am determined to see the lads play again (all them gigs at International 2 are still fresh in the memory)….
Also a big ‘Up Your’s’ to NME… They do articles about fans being ripped off by Ebay sellers, then they have a link for the rapacious Viagogo right under it! Bugger right off!
After the huge success of the Roses come back Heaton Park gigs, it will be no surprise to hear that a full tour is planned.
So for all you disappointed fans who missed out on the ticket rush, here are the strongly rumoured but unconfirmed tour dates:
Fri 29 June Heaton Park, Manchester
Sat 30 June Heaton Park, Manchester
Sun 1 July Heaton Park, [...]
There’s been much speculation regarding Shane Meadows making a film of the Roses comeback, and now a post on shanemeadows.co.uk sheds some light on the story.
Apparently Shane is in discussions to document the Roses return and was actually filming the Stone Roses press conference last week.
Head over to the Shane Meadows website for the full story.
