The Reunion Tour was a rock concert tour by the Stone Roses.[1][2][3] Three homecoming shows in Heaton Park, Manchester and a show in Phoenix Park, Dublin were the first shows to be announced by the band. Fifty shows eventually took place in Europe, Asia, North America and Oceania. The Heaton Park shows currently hold the record for the fastest selling rock gigs in UK history.[4] The Irish Independent described the Dublin leg of the tour as "one of the most anticipated gigs of the year."[5] The Stone Roses also re-entered the music charts on the back of the tour.[6]
