Blossoms praised for 'great gesture' ahead of sold-out Manchester gig

Stockport band Blossoms have announced they will be screening the England vs France game at their sold-out gig in Manchester on Saturday night.

The band, who have scored four top ten albums, are currently undergoing a four-night run at the O2 Apollo, which began last night (December 8). But those with tickets for Saturday’s gig who also wanted to watch England’s next World Cup match were fearing they would have to choose one or the other.

Thankfully, Blossoms have now confirmed that the quarter-final will air at the 3,500 capacity venue before they take to the stage. In a statement to fans, the band wrote: “The England v France World Cup quarter final match will now be shown live on the big screen prior to our performance at O2 Apollo Manchester this Saturday.”
