Ocean Colour Scene

Birmingham's very own Ocean Colour Scene are touring the UK and Ireland in 2025 and will return to their home city for a huge show at Utilita Arena Birmingham on 29 March 2025.

Their rip-roaring live shows have long been one of the most extraordinary sights in modern rock - communal outpourings of hope and joy which boast the most life affirming sing-a-longs you’ll ever hear.

OCS remain one of the most successful -and most loved- bands of the modern era. Having spent six years fine-tuning their sound, they lit up the Britpop party, chalking up three Top 5 albums- 1996’s Moseley Shoals, 1997’s Marchin’ Already and 1999’s One From The Modern and a run of nine successive Top 20 single’s including the immortal ‘The Riverboat Song’.

They will be joined by very special guests Kula Shaker!

Our performance times are usually confirmed closer to the show. We’ll post the times as soon as we can get them, so check back about a week before for updates.
