UK alt rockers Blossoms have announced two headline shows in Ireland this November.

The Stockport band will be playing Belfast’s Limelight on November 13 as well as Dublin’s Academy on November 16, as part of an extensive 20-date run which also includes gigs in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow.

“We’ve been waiting to announce this tour for a while!” said the band. “This album was recorded live so we can’t wait to play the new tunes and all your favourites at these great venues in a couple of months. Gary might even be at some (depending on venue stage heights)!

The album in question, Gary, is set for release on September 20. The project marks the band’s fifth studio LP, and saw them team up with Irish pop artist CMAT, who co-wrote two songs on the project.

Tickets for Blossoms Belfast and Dublin shows go on sale at 9.30 AM on Friday, August 23.
