• 21st Jul 2021

Announcing the return of live music in emphatic style – SPIKE ISLAND – THE RESURRECTION – will take place this Saturday (24th July). 

One of the first major music events to take place in post-lockdown Britain, Spike Island: The Resurrection will host a day of celebrations in commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of the Stone Roses’ era-defining gig at Spike Island, Widnes.

With a headline set by THE CLONE ROSES (the UK’s No.1 tribute to The Stone Roses), the celebratory music festival will aim to re-capture the sights, sounds and atmosphere of what is widely considered as one of the greatest shows ever. The event will also see performances from other top-tier tribute acts including: OAS-IS, THE SMITHS LTD, HAPPY MONDAZE, THE JAMES EXPERIENCE, and TRUE ORDER; plus a number of original faces from the iconic Madchester scene including BEZ (Happy Mondays), CLINT BOON (Inspiral Carpets), ANDY (808 STATE), and MC TUNES (Dust Junkys).
