The five-night residency, which will take place in November, will see Blossoms perform at Manchester Academy, the O2 Ritz, Albert Hall, Victoria Warehouse and the Apollo - all venues that the band say they have a special connection to.

More special guests will be unveiled in the coming weeks. Speaking about the Manchester residency, Blossoms say: “We wanted to do something special with the Manchester shows for this run of gigs. “We played each one of these venues on our way up, so it’s great after our Wythenshawe Park show to go and do these venues and remember where everything started for us.
