Indie darlings back on home turf this year

BLOSSOMS have announced a UK tour for this December, and they’ll be at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester for two nights.

The indie five-piece, who originally hail from Stockport, will be back on home turf on Saturday, December 8, and Sunday, December 9.

The nine-date tour will also call at Glasgow, Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, and London’s Brixton Academy.

Fuzzy Sun, another Stockport group, have been confirmed as the support act for the tour, with Sam Fender also supporting at the London and Glasgow gigs.

Speaking about the shows, the band said: “Did you know that the karaoke machine was invented in our home town of Stockport in 1975? The Japanese bought the idea and gave it the name.

“In honour of this bit of genuinely juicy hometown trivia, this tour will be, in the main, a massive sing-a-long. Generally, memory-making magic. See you there.”

The tour will be in support of Blossoms’ second album Cool Like You, which was released in April this year and has already amassed more than 18,000,000 streams worldwide.

It charted at number four in the UK album chart and spawned the anthemic singles I Can’t Stand It, and There’s A Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Calls).

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday, July 27, with artist and O2 pre-sales beginning at 9am on Wednesday, July 25.
