Blossoms will embark on a tour of the UK and Ireland in October and November.
Blossoms will be touring this year to support Gary
Tom Ogden and Co. will go on tour to promote their highly anticipated new album “Gary”.
The race starts on October 17th in Newcastle and ends on November 16th in Dublin, Ireland.
The band said: “This album was recorded live, so we can’t wait to play the new songs and all your favourites at these amazing venues in a few months.
“Gary might even be there for some of them (depending on the stage height of the venue)!”
General ticket sales begin on Friday, August 23rd at 9:30am via blossoms.tmstor.es. Those who pre-order the album will have access to the pre-sale on Wednesday, August 21st.
The album is set for release on September 20 and was produced by James Skelly of The Coral, the band’s regular collaborator, and Josh-Lloyd Watson of Jungle, who produced “What Can I Say After I’m Sorry?” and “Nightclub.”
Singer CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) also co-wrote two tracks on the album – “I Like Your Look” and “Why Do I Give You the Worst of Me?”.
Tom said: “The essence of this record is the five of us recording live together in one room for the first time in years.
“We wanted to capture the energy that comes when five friends decide to form a band and make music together.
“We worked together more than ever on this album and, in addition to our long-time collaborator James Skelly, we brought Josh and CMAT on board.
“We rented an Airbnb on the coast of Anglesey and locked ourselves in for the writing session with Ciara. It was some of the most inspiring days we’ve ever had as a band.
“During the writing process we listened 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 its founding in 2013, Blossoms has enjoyed great success and recognition.
Their 2016 debut album topped the album charts for two consecutive weeks and earned the band BRIT Award and Mercury Prize nominations, while 2018’s Cool Like You peaked at number 4 on the UK album charts.
Their fourth album, “Ribbon Around the Bomb” from 2023, reached number 1.
