Mancunian rock band Blossoms is back with their brand new single ‘The Honeymoon’. The track is set to feature on the band’s newest edition of fifth album ‘Gary’ coming out on May 9 on all platforms and in stores. The album came out last year and was received with a lot of praise by fans.
The album is following the band’s latest release from September 2024 with more tracks. The band has already shared a song called ‘Mariah Carey Through Death Valley’ and have now shared their latest addition, a reflective song called ‘The Honeymoon’. ‘Gary’, released in September 2024, became Blossoms’ fourth Number 1 album, following their self-titled debut in 2016, ‘Foolish Loving Spaces’ in 2020, and ‘Ribbon Around The Bomb’.
The song lyrics build up a strong storyline of a husband overthinking his relationship after forgetting his anniversary to his wife. News of the single comes right after the band announced a full summer of touring with slots at Glastonbury and Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool. They are also set to play some huge outdoor shows with Inhaler, including headline gigs at Forest Live in Delamere Forest, TK Maxx Presents Derby Summer Sessions, and and TK Maxx Presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
Speaking to NME last September, around the release of the record, Ogden, the band’s lead vocalist said: “Blossoms has really taken the live show to another level in the ‘Gary’ era. It does feel like we’ve really stepped it up again,. That’s important because I don’t want to drift off into the abyss like so many other bands do. This album is helping us stand out from the crowd a little bit.”
The band recently completed an Australian tour with Kasabian and next month will begin a European tour with Inhaler, which includes shows in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Berlin, and Amsterdam, before they join Stereophonics on their run of stadium and outdoor shows.
