German prog metal favourites The Ocean have announced the impending end of their current lineup.
The collective, founded by guitarist Robin Staps in 2000, will play one last run of shows across mainland Europe in December 2024 and January/February 2025 before returning in a new form later down the line. They’ll play their latest album, 2023’s Holocene, in full during the dates, as well as selected cuts from two previous releases Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic (2018) and Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic/Cenozoic (2020). Tickets to the dates go on sale Friday, September 20, at 10am local time.
