Manchester Rockers The Stone Roses To Hit Dubai
British Rock Legends Will Perform Live At Dubai Media City
2012 saw the eagerly anticipated return of The Stone Roses. One of the most critically acclaimed acts of all time, the legendary four piece re-arrived in spectacular style with a summer of sold out headline shows and festivals that saw the Manchester band mesmerize one million live music fans across Europe and Asia.
Following the press conference that announced their reformation on October 18, 2011, the ground breaking British band entered the record books with the fastest selling rock concerts in UK history when their Manchester comeback shows sold 220,000 tickets in 68 minutes!
2013 will see the classic band line-up of Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani (aka Gary Mounfield) and Reni (aka Alan Wren) playing live together in Dubai for the very first time.
The UK band, whose eponymous 1989 debut album is widely considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time, will appear at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on February 21, 2013. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Sunday, November 18 but for now fans can register for pre-sale information at www.thestonerosesdubai.com.
“For a lot of Brit rock fans, The Stone Roses are what kicked it all off – the band not only inspired many of the late 80’s and early 90’s UK super bands but has also been attributed with representing a cultural change in not only the UK but the music industry as a whole,” said Thomas Ovesen, COO Done Events. “With a flurry of top artists now visiting the UAE it is fitting to finally present The Stone Roses live in concert and we can’t wait for a packed Dubai Media City Amphitheatre to rock to songs like, ‘She Bangs The Drums’ and ‘Fools Gold.”
