The Stone Roses confirmed to Hultsfredsfestivalen in Sweden!

Speculations about a reunion of The Stone Roses has more or less been going on since the band broke up in 1996, and the interest in the band has been kept at a constant high level.

When The Stone Roses earlier in October announced two liveshows for the summer of 2012, 16 years after the band's breakup, their announcement hit like a bombshell among their fans worldwide. The 150,000 tickets for the band's first two official concerts in 2012 sold out in a mere 14 minutes.

It is now confirmed that the band's only concert in Sweden next year is at Hultsfredsfestivalen.

Gunnar Lagerman, creative Director of the festival comments on the good news that the Stone Roses chooses Hultsfred as a destination for their summertour;

"It feels almost unreal to announce such an important band 2012! Especially if you have followed the Stone Roses during their incredible career as I have. There was really no one who seriously thought they would ever play together again just six months ago. Our gig in Hultsfred is their only one in Sweden this summer!"

The gig at Hultsfredfestivalen is one of the very first festivalgigs this summer and takes place earlier than the three since long sold out concerts in Manchester. The band has not played in Sweden since 1995.

Hultsfredfestivalen takes place in 2012 between June 14th to 16th.

Other confirmed acts so far are; Justice, The Cardigans play Gran Turismo, Noah and the Whale and Future Islands.
