Blossoms have just announced a huge outdoor summer show for 2024, performing at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester.

Set to be the Stockport lads’ biggest headline show of their career to date, the all-day gig follows on from this summer’s debut event headlined by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

Blossoms have pulled together a huge list of names to support them at their Wythenshawe Park gig next August, with Inhaler, Shed Seven, The K’s and Seb Lowe all taking to the stage.

The massive announcement follows the release of Blossoms’ brand-new single, To Do List (After The Breakup), inspired and named after the viral poetry book ‘Milk And Honey’ by Rupi Kaur.

The song has already been named Radio X’s Record Of The Week and been premiered by Radio 1’s Future Sounds.

Blossoms formed in Stockport by school friends Tom Ogden, Joe Donovan, Charlie Salt, Joshua Dewhurst and Myles Kellock.

The indie rockers have, to date, released four chart-topping albums – their self-titled debut, Cool Like You, Foolish Loving Spaces, and last year’s Ribbon Around the Bomb.

They’ve earned BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations and huge success with singles including I Can’t Stand It, There’s a Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Call), and Charlemagne.

Last summer, Blossoms took the headline slot at Kendal Calling as well as their own headline outdoor shows at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester, Millennium Square in Leeds, and a surprise set at Glastonbury where they were joined by Rick Astley to perform a set full of their favourite Smiths songs.

Support at the August bank holiday event will come from internationally acclaimed acts including Dublin’s Inhaler – who sold out Victoria Warehouse back in May – and the legendary Shed Seven with their biggest Manchester date yet celebrating the 30th anniversary of their incredible back catalogue.

Other acts joining Blossoms at Wythenshawe Park include The K’s, Seb Lowe and recent To Do List (After The Breakup) collaborator, Findlay, who will kick things off at Wythenshawe Park with her band TTRRUUCES.

Tom Ogden, lead vocalist of Blossoms, said: “Headlining our biggest show yet at Wythenshawe Park is going to be THE moment of our career so far for us.

“It makes me think of me and Joe going to watch Oasis and The Stone Roses at Heaton Park back when we were teenagers, and how important these big summer Manchester shows are to people.

“It made us want to be in a band, affected what we wore and changed our lives forever. To misquote Dorothy, ‘Lads, I’ve a feeling we’re not on Oldham Street anymore!'”

Blossoms will perform at Wythenshawe Park on Sunday 25 August 2024.
