Blossoms are hitting the road in support of their upcoming LP 'Gary'.
Blossoms are set to embark on a UK and Ireland tour in October and November.
Tom Ogden and co will hit the road in support of their hotly anticipated new album 'Gary'.
The run kicks off in Newcastle on October 17, and wraps in Dublin, Ireland, on November 16.
The band said: “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)!”
Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am on Friday, August 23 via blossoms.tmstor.es. Those who pre-order the album will gain access to the presale on Wednesday, August 21.
The album is due for release on September 20 and is produced by the band’s 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’.
Singer CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) has also co-written two tracks on the album – ‘I Like Your Look’ and ‘Why Do I Give You the Worst of Me?’
Tom said: “The heart of this record is about the five of us recording live in a room together for the first time in years.
“We wanted to capture the energy of what it’s like when five friends decide to start a band and make music together.
“We collaborated more than we ever have on this record too, and alongside working with long-time collaborator James Skelly, we brought in Josh and CMAT.
“We hired an Airbnb on the seafront in Anglesey and locked ourselves away for the writing session with Ciara and it was one of the most inspiring few days we’ve had as a band.
“During the writing process, we were listening to a lot of Bowie, Blondie, and Hall and Oates.”
Previously released singles included 'What Can I Say After I'm Sorry?', 'Perfect Me', and the title track.
Since forming in 2013, Blossoms have enjoyed widespread success and acclaim.
Their 2016 debut LP 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 in the UK album chart.
Their fourth album, 2023's 'Ribbon Around the Bomb', reached No.1.
