One of the UK’s hottest live acts
Since forming in 2013, Blossoms have enjoyed widespread success and acclaim for their synth-forward blend of Britpop and indie rock. The Stockport fivesome is comprised of frontman Tom Ogden with Charlie Salt on bass, Josh Dewhurst on guitar, Joe Donovan on drums and Myles Kellock on keyboards.
In 2014, they released their first single, You Pulled a Gun on Me, and went on to play The Great Escape and Reading & Leeds that summer. Blossoms released the track Charlemagne in 2015, which broke into the top 100 of the UK singles chart.
Their 2016 eponymous debut topped the album charts for two consecutive weeks and went on to earn the band BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations, while 2018’s Cool Like You charted at No.4 on the UK albums chart, spawning the anthemic singles I Can’t Stand It, There’s a Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Calls) and How Long Will This Last?
The following two years saw Blossoms tour sold-out venues and packed festival stages across the UK and Europe. They played their biggest gig to date – a triumphant hometown show at Stockport County’s Edgeley Park – in summer 2019.
Blossoms released their third album, Foolish Loving Spaces, in January 2020. Produced in Liverpool and topping the UK albums chart, it celebrates love in all of its many forms and features the hits Your Girlfriend and If You Think This Is Real Life.
Their double album, In Isolation / Live From The Plaza Theatre, Stockport, arrived in October 2020 featuring original music created during lockdown along with a recording from the launch show for Foolish Loving Spaces early in the year. Blossoms played a livestream from London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 3 December 2020 to support the new material.
The band confirmed an appearance at the 2021 edition of TRNSMT Festival. On 4 March 2021, Blossoms also announced rescheduled dates for their extensive UK tour in late August and September 2021.
In 2022, Blossoms confirmed they would be embarking on an extensive tour in the UK and Ireland. It comes after the band played successful headline sets at Y Not? and Truck festivals, and a set at Glastonbury.
In 2023, Blossoms announced their return to Manchester on August bank holiday weekend 2024, playing an all-day outdoor concert at Wythenshawe Park. The show will have support from Inhaler and Shed Seven and will mark the biggest headline show of the bands career.
Blossoms headline UK tour for October and November in 2024, includes shows in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow. The band will be supported by Red Rum Club for all dates except Liverpool, Belfast and Dublin and Keyside for Liverpool only.
Absolutely amazing gig.. 100% recommend that you get to see them if you can. Fab sound,great venue (O2 apollo Manchester) Brilliant support acts The lottery winners.. Will definitely be looking forward to seeing them again
A really good gig with the audience totally getting involved. Great venue which generates a good atmosphere. Band played all the hits so just a great night
Blossoms were great. Super mix of old classic songs and the new album. However venue was awful. Too many people in a small space and could barely see a thing despite moving around a fair bit to try and get a better view. Will see Blossoms again, won't use this venue again.
I love the blossoms and wanted to share the experience of a smaller crowd with my 13 year old who has also been to Wembley stadium to see Coldplay. He far preferred the setting, the band and the whole Experience as it felt more personable and for real fans, and not appealing to the masses who have jumped on the wagon. The supporting acts were perfect, both went well with the type of music The Blossoms play. Shame we have to wait until July to see them in London again, but glad they found Gary (as seen on stage!) I thoroughly recommend both venue, The Blossoms, Red Rum Club and the Overpass - thanks all
Firstly I've got to say red rum club were absolutely brilliant support. As for the blossoms an excellent show from first to last with all the showstoppers included would throughly recommend anyone seeing them a great show with my personal highlights being gary charlemane and there's a reason why. Excellent crowd participation and a great night
Brilliant venue absolutely Brilliant blossoms Just ripped off with bar prices
Absolutely loved the show Blossoms were amazing! Especially loved seeing Gary on stage
Red Rum Club were brilliant as the support despite the cramped space on stage at the O2. All too brief a set from an under-appreciated talented band but they engaged everyone in their joyful vibe. Blossoms conducted an excellent run through their new repertoire in addition to lots of old favourites. As ever, theatrical and charismatic. Ending with two classics including my personal favourite, Charlemagne. Great evening.
Amazing amazing amazing. Great venue, great atmosphere. Support superb. Pre-gig tunes got everyone in the mood. Blossoms didn't disappoint, they get better and better.
second time seeing them, both at rock city. great band, great support act.
