Ocean Colour Scene Leeds O2 Apollo tickets

2024 just keeps rolling back the years as UK rock veterans Ocean Colour Scene have just announced a new tour with a Leeds date coming next spring.

The Birmingham-based Britpop band and alternative rock band are heading out across the country in March, starting right here in Leeds before moving on to the likes of Manchester and the rest of the country on their 22-show run.

OCS were massive in the 90s when British rock was arguably enjoying one of its most influential periods, and the beloved Brummies were very part of that scene.

Known for songs like ‘The Riverboat Song’, ‘The Day We Caught The Train’ and ‘The Circle’ just to name a few, this announcement comes just a few months after the release of their Best Of Album which dropped back in June.

The whole of the UK at large is set to be gripped by Britpop fever in 2025, as we’re still fresh from the Oasis reunion and the upcoming tour, but other genre-adjacent names like The Cure are also set to release their first new record in more than 16 years.

Fans are hoping to have a ‘Better Day’, they can catch them at the legendary O2 Academy here in Leeds on 27 March, at Sheffield‘s City Hall, the O2 Apollo in Manchester, Mountford Hall in Liverpool, as well as some big venues down south.

As well as being admired by fans, the charts loved them too as they remain one of the UK’s most revered bands of all time, having three top-five albums around the turn of the century and influencing generations of artists in the decades since their heyday.

It really is going to feel like the late 90s are back again as a psychedelic rock band and fellow contemporaries Kula Shaker will be supporting them on this tour, known for their smash debut single ‘Tattva’ and with plenty more nostalgic tracks to be enjoyed.

Speaking on the announcement, 59-year-old Fowler 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.”
