Stone Roses 2012 tour rumours

TSR — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 14:03:25 +0000

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.

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.

She Bangs The Drums

Released on 17th July 1989, the She Bangs The Drums single had a variety of advert styles. From the simple black and white text based option, to the Roses lemon and finally a large colour advert which featured stills from the original promo video for The Drums.

Update: Looks like there was another Drums advert featuring Squire’s artwork. I’ve added it to the gallery.
