Crowds at a Blossoms gig in Stockport have been evacuated after the fire alarm went off prior to the band playing a highly anticipated hometown show. The group are performing at Stockport Plaza tonight to promote their new album Ribbon Around the Bomb.
But before the band took to the stage, the audience were evacuated after the fire alarm sounded at the venue. A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said the incident was being treated as a 'false alarm'.
The audience was allowed back inside the venue just before 9pm. A video from inside the Plaza shows a member of staff asking people to leave 'due to circumstances beyond our control'. "Unfortunately I'm not joking," the man said.
