Following their sold out 2016 Belfast show, English rock legends Ocean Colour Scene have announced a headline show at Belfast’s CHSq on Friday 25 August 2017.
Twenty years on since “Moseley Shoals” entered the album charts, Ocean Colour Scene are taking it on the road once more playing the album in full.
They have had five Top 10 albums including a number one in 1997. They have also achieved seventeen Top 40 singles and six Top 10 singles to date. Tickets, priced £27.50 + Booking Fee, go on-sale Friday May 19 at 9am from Ticketmaster Outlets nationwide.
The Birmingham band’s story is already the stuff of legend: a rip-roaring rock’n’folk odyssey set to a backdrop of 21 years of UK pop culture at its very best.
In this 23-year existence, Ocean Colour Scene have notched up nine albums, three of which went Top 5 – 1996’s “Moseley Shoals”, 1997’s “Marchin’ Already” and 1999’s “One From The Modern” – and a run of nine successive Top 20 hit singles commencing with 1996’s “The Riverboat Song”.
They supported Oasis at their massive Knebworth shows that same year, and two years later helmed the biggest arena tour of any UK band to date. Their achievements have been nothing short of phenomenal.
From their days as Breton-shirt wearing disciples of The Stone Roses (debut single “Sway”) to million selling Britpop superstars (“Marchin’ Already” bumped Oasis’ “What’s the Story” from the top spot in 1997) to long-term touring allies with Paul Weller, they have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the greats of modern British rock.
