The Stone Roses Make 2013 Plans

The Stone Roses’ reunion tour presses on with a set of 2013 dates at Australia’s Future Music Festival. The shows take place in early March in five different cities Down Under. Presale tickets will be available beginning later this week.

When The Stone Roses first announced in October 2011 that the band planned to reunite in spring 2012 for an extensive world tour, reporters asked the members how long the reunion tour would last.

Singer Ian Brown said, “We will ride it as long as we can,” according to BBC News. Drummer Alan “Reni” Wren responded that he “would be happy with 12 months.”
