The Stone Roses to headline T in the Park 2016

The Stone Roses have been announced as the first headline act for T in the Park 2016.

Following an announcement made by the band earlier this evening, T in the Park organisers DF Concerts have now confirmed that the band will be the Friday headliners for the 2016 festival.

T in the Park is one of three headline concerts announced by Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni today.

As well as the festival, the band will also play two concerts at Manchester Etihad Stadium on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th June.

Fronted by Ian Brown, the Stone Roses are often hailed as the inspiration for a generation of bands.

The band made a triumphant comeback in 2012, having announced in 2011 that they were reforming after an acrimonious split 15 years earlier.

The reunion was one which many fans thought would never happen after their bitter fall-out.

They had long met rumours of a revival with assurances that the band would not reform.

But they eventually buried the hatchet in 2011, agreeing a series of festival dates and a three-night stint topping the bill at their own mini-festival in Manchester’s Heaton Park.

The show was the band’s first large-scale show in the UK since the band fell apart in 1996.
