Stone Roses announced as T in the Park headliners for 2016

Iconic Manchester band The Stone Roses will headline next summer’s T in the Park festival.

The four-piece, who reunited with a series of spectacular live shows in 2012, revealed they will be playing Strathallan Castle as part of a UK tour.

The Stone Roses, featuring singer Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield and drummer Alan “Reni” Wren, are one of Britain’s most popular rock acts with hits including Waterfall, She Bangs The Drums and Fool’s Gold.

They last played T in the Park at its old Balado base three years ago.

The band sparked rumours of a new tour when posters of lemons famously used in their early artwork appeared around Manchester.
