The Blossoms, a band that started right next door to us in Stockport, are coming to Wythenshawe Park for their biggest concert ever. They'll be playing on Sunday 25 August 2024, and it's going to be a day full of music and fun.
Why is this a big deal? Well, the Blossoms have come a long way since they started. They've played at huge venues and festivals like Glastonbury, but playing in Wythenshawe Park is special for them. It's close to home, and with capacity for 30,000 it's going to be their biggest crowd yet!
Lead singer Tom Ogden recalled going to big concerts in Manchester when he was younger and how it made him want to be in a band. Now, he's going to be the one on stage! He even joked, “Lads, I've a feeling we're not on Oldham Street anymore!” This is a big deal for them.
And it's not just the Blossoms who will be playing. There will be other great bands too – Inhaler, Shed Seven, The K’s, Seb Lowe, and Ttrruuces. One big music party!
Last year, tens of thousands of people came to see Noel Gallagher play in Wythenshawe Park. Now it's the Blossoms' turn, and they can't wait. Drummer Joe Donovan says they're ‘buzzing’ and really excited for the event.
This concert is a big thing for the Wythenshawe community. Big bands love coming here to play because of the atmosphere and the amenities. Manchester crowds always make acts welcome, and this will be no different. It's going to be a day to remember with friends and family, listening to live music right in our backyard.
