New York band Geese performed a cover of the Stone Roses' 1989 track 'Fools Gold' during their concert on March 24 at Manchester's O2 Victoria Warehouse. The group integrated the cover into their song '2122' from the 2023 album 3D Country. This tribute follows their recent shout-out to the Stone Roses at the BRIT Awards.
Geese, a band from New York, took the stage at Manchester's O2 Victoria Warehouse on Tuesday, March 24, where they honored local icons the Stone Roses with a live rendition of 'Fools Gold,' the group's 1989 hit. The cover was seamlessly blended into '2122,' a track from Geese's 2023 album 3D Country, which the band frequently augments with covers during performances. Footage of the moment circulated online shortly after the show, as first reported by Pitchfork. The performance underscores Geese's ongoing appreciation for the Stone Roses. Last month, at the BRIT Awards, Geese claimed the International Group of the Year award—their first major accolade. Accepting the prize, vocalist Max Bassin declared: “Free Palestine, fuck ICE, RIP Mani, let’s go Geese,” paying respects to the late Stone Roses bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield. Geese is wrapping up a world tour supporting their 2025 album Getting Killed, which kicked off last year in North America. The tour's final date before a summer festival slate falls on March 25 at London's O2 Kentish Town. Upcoming stops include Primavera Sound, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Governor’s Ball, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands.
