Ocean Colour Scene remain one of the most iconic cult bands from the UK of all time.
Forming in Birmingham in 1989, the rockers have enjoyed success with such singles as The Riverboat Song, The Circle, Profit in Peace, and Get Blown Away.
Their tenure in the British music industry isn’t over just yet, though. And they’ve just announced a new 2025 to prove it.
The band, which is Simon Fowler, Steve Cradock, Oscar Harrison and Raymond Meade, will be playing a monumental 22 shows across the UK next year, with shows at Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, London and plenty more.
Tickets are out right now, and here’s how to get yours.
Frontman Simon Fowler is particularly excited about the tour. He said: “Having had such a great time playing festivals all through summer, we now have an incredible tour to look forward to in 2025. And we’re delighted that our old friends Kula Shaker will be joining us for so many of these dates. See you there.”
Steve Cradock added: “We were quite sad when the summer shows finished this year. We’d had such a brilliant time out on the road and each audience was fantastic. Our tour in March and April 2025 is gonna be a buzz coz my son Cass is playing with us on keys again, and this time we have Oscar’s lad Leon playing percussion too – a proper family affair.
“Plus we’re performing at some venues that we’ve not played for a while. Always nice to mix it up. I can’t wait, I’m looking forward to it a lot!”
