Whether it’s the release of a new single, their latest album Ribbon Around the Bomb coming out last Friday, or their latest music video, the past few weeks have definitely been good for them. This time however is a bit more unlucky. The premiere of their new film, also titled Ribbon Around the Bomb, was interrupted in Stockport Plaza last night by a “false alarm“ – namely their troublesome fire safety equipment.

Due to the fire alarm going off, the audience had to be evacuated before the movie had come to a finish, with staff telling them it was “due to circumstances beyond our control …. Unfortunately I’m not joking”. The audience was let back in around 9 pm so they could enjoy the planned live performance from Blossoms, playing their latest album in full.

According to one audience member, “Blossoms weren’t on yet. There’s a film on promoting their new album and they cut that short, and someone came on and said, ‘Due to circumstances out of our control our alarms have gone off and we will have to evacuate the building’”.

The band used Twitter in order to gather the audience back for their performance, tweeting “Sorry about the fire alarm that went off at Stockport Plaza. All sorted now. False alarm. The venue’s letting everyone back in now so we’ll see you on stage very shortly.”


On the bright side, a faulty alarm didn’t stop audiences from enjoying the band’s full set-list, which can be seen down below.

Fans can also see Blossoms playing some future dates, such as supporting The Killers this summer or George Ezra at Finsbury Park. This evening they’re due at London’s O2 Academy Islington. Gigs at Glastonbury, Neighbourhood Weekender and Y Not Festival are also upcoming, so make sure you keep up to date with that. Their full tour dates can be seen below, with tickets available here.
