Ocean Colour Scene to play Liverpool in December

Indie-rock legends Ocean Colour Scene have announced a thirteen-date UK tour for 2023 with a night in Liverpool this December.

The Riverboat Song, The Circle, Traveller’s Tune, Hundred Mile High City and The Day We Caught The Train – all songs we know and love from Ocean Colour Scene. And you can see them performed live in Liverpool at Mountford Hall on 11th December 2023 as frontman Simon Fowler, guitarist Steve Cradock and drummer Oscar Harrison return to the stage.

Tickets for the show go on general sale at 9.00am on Friday 24^th March, available from www.oceancolourscene.com

Formed in Birmingham in 1989, Ocean Colour Scene spent six years fine-tuning their sound before lighting up the Brit-pop party with three top 5 albums; 1996’s ‘Moseley Shoals’, 1997’s ‘Marchin’ Already’ and 1999’s ‘One From The Modern’. The band has also achieved seventeen Top 40 singles, including a staggering run of nine successive Top 20 singles and a mantelpiece full of awards.

As with all the best groups, behind the swagger and style were great songs, with words and melodies that found their way into the public’s hearts.

Honing their craft in the spirit of the soul, folk and blues greats who inspired them, Ocean Colour Scene’s celebrated live shows have cemented the relationship between the band and their fiercely loyal fanbase, with each concert serving as a communal outpouring of hope and joy, boasting the most life-affirming singalongs you’re likely to hear anywhere.

Speaking about the tour Simon Fowler said:

“After starting with a short run of dates in the summer, it’s going to be great ending the year on the road with Ocean Colour Scene, playing all the hits and more for some proper pre-Christmas partying with our fans who are the best in the land.”
