The Stone Roses are looking to break the Guiness World Record for most psuedo-Mods in one place next summer at their recently announced Glasgow Green gig.

The band hold the current record, set at their famed 1990 Glasgow Green attended by over 9,000 parka-clad Vespa owners, but singer Ian Brown is thinking far bigger this time around:

"Me and the lads had such a good laugh at that show so we reckoned it only made sense to break our record in the same place, innit. It's been 20 years since the show so me and Reni [Alan Wren, Stone Roses drummer] reckon we can sell about 20 times more tickets or summat"

While the 'Foolish Goal' singer's estimates may be somewhat optimistic, the show's promoters insist they are doing everything in their power to ensure they not only break the previous record but "smash it's back doors in", going on to say that "the only sure-fire way to improve on the last gig is to almost double the amount of people there as well as the cost of tickets"

The press release for the shows has also confirmed support from The View, Jake Bugg and Primal Scream. Experts speculate that these additions will only help attract the attention of today's Fred Perry-wearing, RAF symbol-blazoned youth, increasing ticket sales and the likelihood of a successful record attempt.
