Stockport band Blossoms are set to headline the Sefton Park Pilot this May. Yes, you heard me right, this May: there will be no social distancing, no masks, just gig-goers enjoying live music for the first time in over a year.
5,000 lucky fans will get to witness Zulu, The Lathums and Blossoms take over The Big Top inside Liverpool’s historic park, which before the pandemic was welcoming crowds of 7,500. attendees will need a negative Covid test to access the event on May 2nd. Anyone hoping to attend will also have to provide contact details for test and trace, as well as taking a Covid test after the event- Blossoms have a dedicated army of fans, so tickets will sell fast for this one.
Tickets are on sale now, but only adult residents of the Liverpool City region are eligible. This is an incredibly exciting moment for the prospect of live events returning: we’ve all watched live-stream concerts of our favorite artists, but without the sweat, shouting and pint-spilling, its difficult to capture the ‘lightning in a bottle’ spirit of seeing a band in the flesh.
We’re excited to be appearing at the Sefton Park Pilot event in Liverpool with @thelathums & @thisiszuzu on Sunday 2nd May. Tickets limited to Liverpool City Region residents only.

Blossoms have had a productive 2020, releasing a brilliant double album, ‘In Isolation / Live From The Plaza Theatre, Stockport’ which included a variety of covers, acoustic versions and collaborations with indie-legends Miles Kane and Courteeners. The second part of the double album is a superb live set, jam packed with their strongest tracks. They also put out their third studio album, ‘Foolish Loving Spaces’ in January, which was met with a great reception from their fans.
I can’t wait to see my favourite bands live again and I certainly hope that this event goes off without a hitch. It really feels as if we are within touching distance of getting to a gig again: with football fans in Wembley this weekend, it really feels like we are getting ‘back to normal’.
