If you were a little disappointed that Stone Roses' 2016 tour comprised solely of shows in Manchester, then you're in luck. The band have just announced that they'll be bringing 'Fools Gold', and the rest of their hits and album favourites, to Dublin. Buy tickets below.

The band whipped fans into a frenzy last week when they covered their home city with posters, before announcing a string of comeback shows in Manchester's Etihad Stadium.

Aside from a headline set at T In The Park though, the band weren't scheduled to venture out of Manchester. Now though, they've announced that they'll be playing at Dublin's Marlay Park on 9 July.

Tickets for the Dublin date go on sale next Friday (20 November) at 9am. See Stone Roses' full UK tour dates, including the new Dublin show, below. Buy tickets and get more information here.

Wednesday 15 June - Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Friday 17 June - Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Saturday 18 June - Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Sunday 19 June - Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Friday 8 July - T In The Park, Scotland
Saturday 9 July - Marlay Park, Dublin

Meanwhile, speaking to Gigwise about Stone Roses' reunion, Creation Records founder Alan McGee said, "It’s brilliant for music. I love Stone Roses, absolutely love them. I managed Happy Mondays so it gives you an idea of how much I love Stone Roses. I love the Roses and the Mondays."

He added, "I think Stone Roses coming back is going to make people remember what rock and roll was again. You never know, if Oasis do come back, even if it’s just for a tour, you’re going to get guitar music becoming really hip for a couple of years again."
