Blossoms will be performing their biggest-ever gig at Wythenshawe Park this weekend, with massive support acts lined up.
Stockport’s finest will be back on home turf over the August bank holiday weekend, ahead of the release of their upcoming album Gary.
The group have become one of the biggest groups to come out of Manchester over the last few decades, rocketing to fame with their self-titled debut album back in 2016.
Blossoms earned BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations following their chartbuster debut album.
They’ve gone on to score two more UK number-one albums with 2020’s Foolish Loving Spaces and 2022’s Ribbon Around The Bomb.
Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden 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 [the band’s drummer] 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 play Wythenshawe Park on Sunday 25 August – if you’re heading to the show, here’s everything you need to know.
Blossoms have lined up some massive support acts to help them warm up the crowds at Wythenshawe Park this weekend.
Dublin’s Inhaler, whose debut album It Won’t Always Be Like This topped the charts on its release in 2021, are the main support act, performing hits like Cheer Up Baby, Ice Cream Sundae, My Honest Face and many more.
Legendary rockers Shed Seven are also on the line-up, as they head up to their third decade in the industry. The group recently recorded their first-ever no.1 album, A Matter of Time.
Further support includes indie rockers The K’s, Oldham’s Seb Lowe and Ttrruuces, who’ll get things rocking and rolling.

For travel to Wythenshawe Park, there are three tram stops close by – Wythenshawe Park, Moor Road and Baguely station.
Only Moor Road will be available to use when the gig has finished. Wythenshawe Park and Baguely station will be closed to help with crowd management.
But if you’re worried about such a big journey, Blossoms have saved the day, helping fellow Mancunians natives by launching their very own shuttle bus service.
Buses are running via Stockport Interchange to the venue between 4pm and 8pm, every six minutes. The six-minute wait applies for the way back, taking giggoers from Moor Road back to Stockport town centre, between 10pm and 1am.
You can find out more about the shuttle bus service HERE.
The set times are subject to change. Make PLENTY of time to get there!
We don’t actually know what Blossoms will play, as this is the first show they’ve done on their current and upcoming tour.
Instead, they’ve been busy on the festival circuit, so the below setlist is the bunch of classics they played at Hardwick Festival.
You never know, with Blossoms returning to their native land, they might mix things up…
