Special Blackpool Screening
The band are also pleased to announce they will be hosting a special Q&A and screening of the film at Blackpool Central Library on 9^th June 2018. Following the film, members of blanket will be taking to the stage for an extra special short acoustic set, and fans will also have the chance to see an exhibition of the original album artwork pieces and sample some great vegan food (included in ticket price – see below for links).

Gavin Wrigley of the European Bartender School will also be in attendance at the event creating some amazing exclusive cocktails especially for the occasion, served at a cash bar with non-alcoholic alternatives.
