Blossoms announce UK tour including Bristol O2 Academy show - how to get tickets & possible setlist

Mercury-prize nominated band Blossoms have announced they will call at Bristol as they embark on a huge 21-date tour across UK & Ireland.

The Indie-rock group from Stockport were nominated for a British Breakthrough Act at the 2017 Brit Awards - off the back of their self-titled debut album.

In 2022, the band had a busy schedule appearing at festivals across the UK, including Glastonbury, Y NOT and Isle of White. They also supported the Killers at their Emirates Old Trafford show.

Blossoms are likely to play their fourth studio album, Ribbon Around the Bomb, to a 1600-strong crowd at the O2 Academy, Bristol. The album - released in April this year - gave the group a third UK number one on the albums chart.
