Speaking about the residency in a press release, Blossoms shared: “We wanted to do something special with the Manchester shows for this run of gigs. We played each one of these venues on our way up, so it’s great after our Wythenshawe Park show to go and do these venues and remember where everything started for us. It’s a love letter of shows to the city! We can’t wait x.”
The new dates come after the band’s announcement of their headline UK tour which is set to commence next month. Check out a full list of tour dates here and visit here to purchase any remaining tickets.
The band announced ‘Gary’ back in June, with the forthcoming LP marking their fifth studio album, and the long-awaited follow-up to 2022’s ‘Ribbon Around The Bomb’.
‘Gary’ was produced by the frequent collaborator James Skelly of The Coral, alongside Jungle’s Josh-Lloyd Watson. The latter also produced with the band on both ‘What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?’ and ‘Nightclub’.
The new album will also see Tom Odden and co. join forces with BRIT-nominated singer-songwriter CMAT, who has co-written two tracks, titled ‘I Like Your Look’ and ‘Why Do I Give You The Worst Of Me?’, on the record.
In other news, the band recently addressed rumours they could be opening for Oasis on their 2025 reunion tour.
Vocalist and guitarist Ogden and guitarist and percussionist Donovan have spoken about the rumours on an appearance on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch and said: “No. I don’t even think they’ve sorted it out yet. There’s been no conversation or anything else. I think they’ll probably sort it out next year.”
