Stone Roses

Rock band formed in Manchester in 1983, who rose to prominence with the release of their debut album in 1989 at the peak of the "Madchester" years. Split in 1996, before one of the most unexpected comebacks of all time in 2012 including a record-breaking run of gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park.
