Blossoms have announced a 5-night Manchester residency ahead of new album ‘Gary’

Blossoms have announced a five-night live residency in Manchester from 19th November to 23rd November.

The run will see the band perform at various venues across the city, including Manchester Academy, O2 Ritz, Albert Hall, O2 Victoria Warehouse, and O2 Apollo.

The shows will feature songs from Blossoms’ new album ‘Gary’, set for release this Friday. Tickets fwill go on sale on 20th September at 9:30am.

Speaking about the Manchester residency, Blossoms said: “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.”

The band recently played their largest headline show to date, a sold-out performance to 30,000 people at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park. Their previously announced UK tour dates for October and November are nearly sold out, with limited tickets remaining for a few shows.

‘Gary’, Blossoms’ new album, is produced by long-time collaborator James Skelly of The Coral and Jungle’s Josh-Lloyd Watson. CMAT has co-written two tracks on the album, ‘I Like Your Look’ and ‘Why Do I Give You The Worst Of Me?’. The band have already released three singles from the album: ‘Perfect Me’, ‘Gary’, and ‘What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?’.
