Speaking about the upcoming tour, Blossoms said, “We’ve been waiting to announce this tour for a while! This album was recorded live so we can’t wait to play the new tunes and all your favourites at these great venues in a couple of months. Gary might even be at some (depending on venue stage heights)! X”
The band’s new album ‘Gary’ is produced by regular collaborator James Skelly of The Coral, alongside Jungle’s Josh-Lloyd Watson, who produced ‘What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?’ and ‘Nightclub’. CMAT has also 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 shared three singles from the album to date, including ‘Perfect Me’, ‘Gary’ and ‘What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?’.

Blossoms first formed back in 2013. Their 2016 self-titled debut topped the album charts for two consecutive weeks and went on to earn the band BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations. Their 2018 release ‘Cool Like You’ charted at No.4 in the UK album chart and featured anthemic singles ‘I Can’t Stand It’, ‘There’s A Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Calls)’ and ‘How Long Will This Last?’. Their third studio album, 2020s ‘Foolish Loving Spaces’, earned them their second UK No.1 album, while their fourth studio LP ‘Ribbon Around The Bomb’ dropped in 2022 and gave them their third UK No.1 album, with standout tracks ‘Ode To NYC’, ‘The Sulking Poet’ and ‘Care For’.
Blossoms have had five Top 5 albums in the UK, including their ‘In Isolation/Live From The Plaza Theatre, Stockport’ release.
The Stockport five-piece comprises of Tom Ogden, Charlie Salt, Josh Dewhurst, Joe Donovan and Myles Kellock
