Indie-rock legends Ocean Colour Scene are hitting the road in 2026 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their iconic album Moseley Shoals. The 13-date UK arena tour kicks off at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 21st November and wraps with a hometown show at Birmingham’s bp pulse LIVE on 12th December.
Joining them as very special guests are Coventry’s own The Enemy, bringing their signature fire to the stage.
An artist pre-sale will begin at 9.00am on Wednesday 15th October, followed by a venue pre-sale from 9.00am on Thursday 16th, before tickets go on general sale at 9.00am on Friday 17th October, available from the venues and via www.oceancolourscene.com.
Released in April 1996, Moseley Shoals became a defining record of the Britpop era. With hits like The Riverboat Song, You’ve Got It Bad, The Day We Caught The Train, and The Circle, the album spent 92 weeks on the UK charts and earned triple-platinum status.
That same summer, Ocean Colour Scene played to 125,000 fans at Oasis’s legendary Knebworth show—cementing their place in British music history.
Simon Fowler: “It’s hard to believe that Moseley Shoals turns 30 in 2026. We owe so much to that album, so it’s exciting to celebrate with our amazing fans at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.”
Steve Cradock: “This show will be special—a peak for us as a group.”
Oscar Harrison: “These dates will be all the more special with my boy Leon on percussion and Steve’s son Cass on keys and guitar. This one’s for the fans.”
