Manchester’s local paper the Manchester Evening News has posted an image of the lemons on twitter:

What remains even more curious and rumour inducing about the lemons is that there is 16 of them, thus fans of the 80s band are interpreting this as a potential 2016 tour. Especially given as most tours for next year get announced around this time.

The band were last on the public scene in 2012, reforming for a global tour and numerous UK dates. However they have not released an album in 21 years, with the last release being ‘Second Coming’ in 1994.

Numerous shops throughout Manchester have put the lemons in their windows, surely an announcement is imminent? One shopkeeper had this to say:

“sworn to secrecy about an announcement due in the next 24 hours”

Whether the announcement is a new tour or a new album or anything Stone Roses related; either way you can bet that it will be huge news throughout the music industry. Hopefully you can expect a follow up article in the next few weeks!

During the interview, co-host John ‘Fenners’ Fendle asked Gallagher if he had “any idea what’s going on with the Roses”. After a long pause (presumably calculating the PR consequences of his reply) Gallagher replied “Yes. I know exactly what’s going on… They’re blooming.”

Gallagher is well known as long term friend – and fan – of The Stone Roses, so it’s unsurprising that he knows what’s going on in the Roses’ camp. You can watch the full interview below:

The Stone Roses reformed in 2011 after a 15 year breakup, since then they have toured all over the world, proving a hot booking for festivals, although the band have been somewhat inactive for the last two years.

During this time rumors of a a follow up to 1994’s divisive ‘Second Coming’ have been floating about, with the band not yet confirming anything. The last we heard from frontman Ian Brown on the matter he was talking to NME and only replied with the cryptic “Is something happening? You never know, but I’m not here to talk about that.”

More open about his next album Noel Gallagher stated that his next album wont be finished until after his tour ends in April 2016. The Full list of dates can be found below:

21/04 Glasgow, The SSE Hydro
24/04 Aberdeen, AECC
25/04 Liverpool, Echo Arena
27/04 Leeds, First Direct Arena
