Stockport five-piece Blossoms are hitting the road for an extensive string of dates across the UK and Ireland later this year. 

The band will travel around England in November and December, including two close-to-hometown shows nights at Manchester’s O2 Apollo, and one night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. There will also be dates in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as a show in Dublin.

The tour follows a host of festivals that Blossoms have played this year. They’ve headlined Y Not? and Truck festivals, and also played a cracking set at Glastonbury which featured a surprise cameo from Mel C for a rendition of Spice Up Your Life. They’ve toured as The Killers’ support as well. 

Blossoms dropped their number one album Ribbon Around The Bomb in April, and before they did so, they popped into Virgin Radio to play an amazing live set on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky. Their set included single The Sulking Poet, from the new album.

The band’s most recent album isn’t their only number one record. In fact, two of their previous LPs, 2016’s Blossoms and 2020’s Foolish Loving Spaces, hit the top spot as well. 

Tickets for the band’s tour later this year go on sale this Friday 5th August at 9am from gigsandtours.com, ticketmaster.co.uk and blossomsband.co.uk. So mark the date in your diary.

Fan presale, however, begins a couple of days earlier, at 9am on Wednesday.
