The band have enjoyed widespread success since forming in 2013 and have played sold-out venues and packed festival stages, as well a celebratory hometown show at Stockport County’s Edgeley Park – in summer 2019. Their latest album Ribbon Around The Road reached number 1 this year and was produced by their collaborators James Skelly and Rich Turvey.
The creative direction for the album and its videos was developed by Edwin Burdis, Arctic Monkeys’ Creative Director, who worked with the band on their Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino and AM albums. Burdis also directed a film for the album, which featured performances from the band and premiered at Stockport Plaza around the album’s release in April this year.
Blossoms will take to the Castlefield Bowl stage next July, the same venue where the likes of Kylie, Elbow and James have played in he past. While the full line-up for Sounds of the City hasn't been announced yet, this year's festival saw the likes of Primal Scream, Sam Fender, The Libertines and Pixies perform.
