Expect to hear all the classics, Waterfall, Made of Stone, I am the Resurrection along with the new songs, All for One and Beautiful Thing.

The Stone Roses are regarded as one of the most important bands in British music history and their music has influenced and inspired many artists.

They recently performed four sell out nights, to over 240,000 people, at The Etihad Stadium in Manchester. The concerts will go down in history.

But with the Roses’ appearances now less regular, this is a chance to hear those songs played with the same passion and energy as the real thing.

Special guests at the O2 Academy will be rising Barnsley indie band Sundance, who recently opened the homecoming show for Sheffield's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks.
