Ocean Colour Scene announce Moseley Shoals 30th anniversary tour for 2026 - dates and ticket details

• Britpop legends Ocean Colour Scene have announced a celebration of their breakthrough album, Moseley Shoals, in 2026.
• The band are set to tour the country throughout November and December, with support from The Enemy across all dates.
• Tickets are set to go on sale later this month, including artist and venue pre-sale options.

The Britpop renaissance continues well into 2026, with the news this morning that Ocean Colour Scene are set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their album, Moseley Shoals, with a UK tour taking place late next year.

The tour will see the group perform in locations such as London, Bradford, Brighton, Manchester and many more, with a homecoming show rounding off the tour at Birmingham’s bp pulse LIVE on December 12.

The band will be joined on tour by special guests The Enemy across all of their dates.

Released in April 1996 during the peak of Britpop, Moseley Shoals was Ocean Colour Scene's breakthrough second album. It shot to number two on the UK Albums Chart and stayed there for an astonishing 92 weeks, eventually going triple-platinum.

The album featured hit singles like ‘The Riverboat Song,’ ‘The Day We Caught The Train,’ ‘The Circle,’ and ‘You've Got It Bad.’ That same year, the band's status was cemented when they were invited by Oasis to be special guests at their historic Knebworth concerts, performing a blistering set to 125,000 people.

Not only will the band play the entire album, but they will also include a career-spanning set of other hits and fan favourites, including ‘Hundred Mile High City,’ ‘Travellers Tune,’ ‘Better Day,’ and ‘Profit In Peace.’

Remarking on the many years that have passed since the album’s first release, lead singer Simon Fowler said, “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 at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.”
