Formed in Birmingham in 1989, OCS spent six years fine-tuning their sound before lighting up the Britpop party with three Top 5 albums - Moseley Shoals, Marchin Already and One From The Modern.
The band has also achieved seventeen Top 40 singles, including a run of nine successive Top 20 singles and numerous awards. Honing their craft in the spirit of the soul, folk and blues greats who inspired them, Ocean Colour Scene’s will be performing at 13 shows across the UK and Ireland.
Speaking about the upcoming gigs, frontman Simon Fowler said: “After starting with a short run of dates in the summer, it’s going to be great ending the year on the road with Ocean Colour Scene, playing all the hits and more for some proper pre-Christmas partying with our fans who are the best in the land.”
Guitarist Steve Cradock added: “This feels like the first proper tour Ocean Colour Scene have done in years. Last year we managed six dates because of the World Cup, and the year before Covid was still scaring people, so we are going to make it something special. Roll up, roll up for the magical OCS Tour!”
