Pretty Green x Spike Island: A Stone Roses-Inspired Tribute Collection
In May 1990, The Stone Roses took to a reclaimed piece of land on the Mersey Estuary and created history. That show—held at Spike Island in Widnes—has since become a symbol of a cultural shift in British music. Now, 35 years later, Pretty Green honours the spirit of that moment with a new collection inspired by the sound, style, and swagger of the era.
The Spike Island Legacy
On May 27, 1990, around 28,000 fans gathered to watch The Stone Roses in what would become one of the most iconic live performances in UK history. Set against a backdrop of industrial grit and rave culture, the gig captured the raw energy of the Madchester movement and a generation’s shifting identity.
Spike Island wasn’t just a concert. It was a movement, and it shaped the course of British music for years to come.
The Pretty Green Collection
Pretty Green, the menswear label founded by Liam Gallagher, is known for its deep roots in British rock culture. This new drop takes cues from the aesthetics of that legendary day on Spike Island—combining streetwear functionality with nods to the ‘90s underground.
