Iconic Manchester band The Stone Roses have revealed the support acts for their much-anticipated gigs at the Etihad Stadium in June.

Never a band to do things by halves, as well as main support from Public Enemy, they've also collated a changing line up of eight impressive support acts across four days.

Chronixx and Blossoms will support the four-piece on Wednesday 15, followed by The Coral and Buzzcocks on Friday 17, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott and Audioweb on Saturday 18, and finally Courteeners and Bugzy Malone (formerly Songhoy Blues who cancelled) on Sunday 19.

The Stone Roses recently released their first single in over 20 years All For One, which was met with a mixed reaction. Their second release Beautiful Thing had a much more positive response, and was labelled an 'instant classic' by fans.

Chronixx

Jamaican musician Chronixx is the son of dancehall artist Chronicle. His first EP, Hooked on Chronixx, was released in 2011 and follow up record The Dread & Terrible Project, released in April 2014, topped the Billboard and iTunes reggae charts in both UK and Japan.

Chronixx toured for the first time in 2013 when he went to Europe with his own band Zincfence Redemption. He has since embarked on solo tours across the world.

Blossoms

Since they formed in 2013, the Stockport band have achieved great success in a relatively short space of time, recently appearing on the BBC's Sound Of new music list for 2016.

Their debut album was released this year on Virgin EMI. Recorded at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios, and produced by Rich Turvey with The Coral’s frontman and main songwriter James Skelly, the album came amongst a busy festival calendar - which sees them play at Parklife, T In The Park, Kendal Calling, Y Not, Electric Picnic, Festival No.6, and the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The Coral

The band enjoyed massive success after their breakthrough during the late 90s / early 00s, and The Coral re-shuffled their line up following the departure of their guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones in 2008.

The new studio album, Distance Inbetween was released on 4 March 2016, accompanied by UK and European tours in Spring 2016. Guitarist Paul Molloy joined the band during the recording of the album, replacing Lee Southall.

Buzzcocks

Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto formed Buzzcocks in Bolton in February 1976. The band, completed by the addition of Steve Diggle and John Maher, opened for the Sex Pistols in Manchester on July 20th, a follow up to the now (in)famous Lesser Free Trade Hall gig which Devoto and Shelley had organised the month before.

Gigs in Manchester and London followed, and by the end of 1976, Buzzcocks became one of the first groups to form their own independent record label - New Hormones - on which they released the now-legendary and seminal ‘Spiral Scratch’ EP.

Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott

After a successful early careers, the two previous members of the Beautiful South reconvened after more than a decade to sing together again.

With their raw lyrical beauty and heartwarming tracks, the pair have quickly found success, releasing two albums that have reached number three and four in the charts.

Audioweb

The Manchester band founded in 1991 as the Sugar Merchants, and their fusion of rock, reggae and electronica drew a global fanbase which famously included the band U2 and Ian Brown. The band split up in 1999, and bassist Sean McCann has previously played for Ian Brown and Badly Drawn Boy.

Courteeners

The Manchester rock band formed in Middleton in 2006, and have since released four studio albums: St Jude, Falcon, Anna and Concrete Love. Their first gig was at the Manchester Roadhouse in 2006, and the band went from strength to strength in their home city, largely through a word-of-mouth following.

The four-piece is led by Fray, who writes all the music and lyrics for the Courteeners' songs, and is best known for reinvigorating post-punk/Britpop.

Bugzy Malone

25-year-old Manchester born wordsmith Bugzy Malone is fast developing a reputation as one of the UK’s brightest independent Grime talents. Last December Bugzy embarked on his first ‘sold out’ UK headline tour, with dates in London, Birmingham, Brighton, Sheffield and Manchester.

Bugzy was among the new artists picked for BBC 1Xtra’s ‘Hot For 2016’ List and was also part of the N.M.E’s ‘Ones to Watch For 2016’.
