Blossoms

Blossoms have outlined plans for their sixth studio album and supporting UK shows. 

Following the release of 'Songs From The Wedding Cake' on October 2, the band have scheduled the largest tour of their career, which will take them to Cardiff's Utilita Arena, London's Alexandra Palace, Manchester's Co-op Live, Birmingham's Utilita Arena and Glasgow's OVO Hydro between November 26 and December 11.

Recorded at Tilehouse Studios alongside producer Shawn Lee, known as one half of London duo Young Gun Silver Fox, the follow-up to 2024's 'Gary' marks the band's most expansive and most personal record yet, while its title comes from a Stockport nickname for the town's Victorian town hall where frontman Tom Ogden got married.

The album will feature the band's spring single Joke About Divorce and new song Meet Me In Love, which features backing vocals from fellow British singer-songwriter Declan McKenna. Listen here.
