Indie-rock veterans Ocean Colour Scene have announced a massive 13-date UK arena tour for 2026, marking the 30th anniversary of their iconic album, Moseley Shoals. Released in 1996 at the height of Britpop, the triple-platinum record launched the band into superstardom with hit singles like "The Riverboat Song," "The Day We Caught The Train," and "The Circle."
The tour kicks off on November 21st at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and includes major arena stops at Manchester's AO Arena, Utilita Arena Cardiff, and London's The O2, before concluding with a hometown celebration at Birmingham’s bp pulse LIVE on December 12th. Joining them as very special guests for the duration of the tour will be The Enemy.
Ocean Colour Scene will treat fans to all the highlights from Moseley Shoals alongside a career-spanning set of hits and fan favorites, including "Hundred Mile High City" and "Travellers Tune."
Lead singer Simon Fowler expressed his excitement, saying, "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 to this very special anniversary and celebrate with our amazing fans." Guitarist Steve Cradock added that the show will be a "peak for us as a group."
Tickets for the anniversary tour go on general sale at 9:00 am on Friday, October 17th, 2025, following various pre-sales earlier in the week. Fans can secure their tickets via the venues and the official band website.
