Blossoms to play new album Gary in full at special Stockport show

If that big fibreglass gorilla doesn't get rolled out onto the stage we're going to be fuming...

Danny Jones - 25th September 2024

Blossoms have just announced they will be returning to play a hometown show in Stockport at none other than The Plaza – and playing Gary in full, might we add. Oh yes.

Ready for round two, Stopfordians?

The local lads are flying higher than ever right now; with the Wythenshawe Park gig going down in history – and not just because of that Oasis teaser – a brand new record already nailed on for number one, an instant sell-out Manchester residency on the horizon and now this, it’s all coming up Blossoms.

Promising to play their fifth studio album in full (and presumably from start to finish), plus a selection of the hits, this is going to be a very special night for the flourishing Greater Manchester town.

Now truly the toast of SK if they weren’t already, this will be the third time they’ve played the stunning Plaza theatre and cinema space, having first headlined it in 2020 alongside their Back to Stockport documentary screening, and then two years later for the Ribbon Around the Bomb album cycle.

So this isn’t exactly new territory for them and since they’ve already sold out other home venues like Edgeley Park and countless gig venues across the country, not to mention headlining multiple festivals over the past couple of years, this should be a walk in the park.

Well, maybe more like a strut given how Gary sounds and the current flared pants look.

Having just announced five Manchester shows that sold out in literally the blink of an eye, it goes without saying that with a capacity of just over 1,300, this particular Blossoms gig will be snapped up faster than you can say ‘Why is there a big gorilla on the stage?’

Speaking of capacity, this gig will be a little different and more reserved than others, just so you know.

All tickets are strictly unreserved seating and under 16s must be accompanied by an adult, so if you’ve ever been wanting to see them not just on home turf in Stockport but in a less rowdy setting, now is your chance.

The show is taking place on Sunday, 3 November, shortly before their mini-Manc residency kicks off and tickets are going on sale today at 5pm via popular music shop and friends of the band, Crash Records – a particular favourite of our friends over at The Hoot. A lovely way to support a local business too.

There’s a limit of four tickets per person but you can get ready to grab yours HERE and best of luck!

I mean, just look at how beautiful that room is.
