Stockport’s finest took to a crowd of 30,000 at Wythenshawe Park, Manchester this bank holiday weekend for a night of groovy tunes, gorilla spottings, and an Oasis tease. 

From start to finish the lads put on a spectacular show with musical interludes between tracks and an entertaining scene for new single, and upcoming album title - Gary. 

Mid set the band performed Blow - their debut single from 2016 - which loyal fans sang back to front man, Tom Ogden. The band then switched it up and performed their latest release - Perfect Me, which is an upbeat, energetic, ABBA infused hit. 

The setlist covered many tracks from their soon to be five albums, with Gary being released on Friday, September, 20.

Another highlight of the evening was fellow Stockport act - Findlay, joining the lads on stage to perform their single - To Do List (After The Breakup).

Notably, fans of the band will know their shows usually include a rendition of song - My Favourite Room, off their debut album, with a medley of You’re Gorgeous by Babybird, and Half The World Away by Oasis. Only this time, singer Tom was joined by the best of the band - drummer Joe Donovon, keyboardist Miles Kellock, guitarist Josh Dewhurst, and bassist Charlie Salt - for a memorable moment with the audience singing along. 

As fans prepared to leave the park, a date and time appeared on video screens teasing the return of much adored band - Oasis. The posting of these leads people to suspect that Blossoms may open for some of the Oasis Live 2025 gigs. 

Also, during the day acts including Ttrruces, Seb Lowe, and The K’s took to the stage.

York founded, Britpop royalty - Shed Seven, took to the stage earlier in the evening performing classics such as Chasing Rainbows, Going for Gold, and Disco Down - of which they were joined by Rowetta, of the Happy Mondays. 

Dublin formed band - Inhaler, certainly livened the crowd up, performing tracks including - It Won’t Always Be Like This, My Honest Face and Love Will Get You There.

The performance shown from Blossoms was a talented, well planned evening, and is testament to the close knit relationship between the band members. It certainly signals that the band's tour - taking place in October and November - won't be one to miss!
