Ocean Colour Scene will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark second studio album ‘Moseley Shoals’ on a major headline UK tour in 2026.
The indie rock legends’ 13-date tour opens at Glasgow OVO Hydro on Saturday 21st November 2026 and wraps up with a homecoming show at Birmingham bp pulse LIVE four weeks later on Saturday 12th December.
OCS also play arenas in Manchester, Swansea, Cardiff and London plus venues in Bradford, Newcastle, Derby, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Brighton and Bristol.
Joining Ocean Colour Scene as special guests at all dates will be The Enemy.
Tickets to Ocean Colour Scene’s ‘Moseley Shoals’ 30th anniversary tour go on sale at 9am on Friday 17th October.
Originally released in April 1996, ‘Moseley Shoals’ achieved triple Platinum status in the UK and spawned the singles ‘The Riverboat Song’, ‘You’ve Got It Bad’, ‘The Day We Caught The Train’ and ‘The Circle’.
Next year’s tour will feature all the highlights from ‘Moseley Shoals’ plus fan favourites including ‘Hundred Mile High City’, ‘Travellers Tune’, ‘Better Day and ‘Profit In Peace’.
Ocean Colour Scene singer Simon Fowler says: “It’s hard to believe that Moseley Shoals turns 30 in 2026. We owe so much to that album, so it’s exciting to be able to look forward this very special anniversary and celebrate with our amazing fans at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.”
Guitarist Steve Cradock adds: “As a 30-year celebration of Moseley Shoals, we will be playing many of the songs from this great album. They will be part of a set and show that will be special, and a peak for us as a group. Thanks for the support. See you all in 2026.”
Drummer Oscar Harrison enthuses: “Our 2026 UK tour is something we are going to celebrate in a very big way. As with our sold-out tour this year, these dates will be all the more special for having my boy Leon on percussion and Steve’s son, Cass, on keys and guitar, enabling us to deliver the full Ocean Colour Scene sound for our fans. This one’s for them.”
