Blossoms will be joined by Cabbage and Rory Wynne when they headline the 2017 NME Awards Tour from March 16th.
With the two support acts along for select gigs, the tour opens in Stoke and includes a show at the London Roundhouse on March 23rd. The last show takes place on the first day of April, at Glasgow’s O2 Academy.
If they weren’t already in the form of their lives after a hectic 2016 on the road, Blossoms should be well warmed up by the time they play the Sounds Of The City series in Manchester in the summer – frontman Tom Ogden has said of it:
“There’s only three bowls we’ve ever wanted to play. Now we’ve got Castlefield, that only leaves the Super Bowl and Hollywood Bowl (Ashton Under Lyne).”
