Ocean Colour Scene 2025 tour: Britpop group join Cool Britannia revival with widespread UK tour

• Ocean Colour Scene join the Cool Britannia revival of 2025 with the announcement of a UK wide tour.
• The band are set for dates in Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Truro and many more across March and April 2025
• Here’s the full list of tour dates and when you can get tickets to see them perform in the new year.

The Britpop revival continues today - not content with Shed Seven possibly topping the UK chart and more Oasis North American dates, Ocean Colour Scene are now in on the act.

The group, known for their anthems The Day We Caught The Train and The Riverboat Song, used many a time by Chris Evans during the heyday of TFI Friday, have announced that they too are set to perform in 2025 with the announcement of a widespread UK tour.

The tour will see the band kick off proceedings at the O2 Academy in Leeds on March 27 2025, followed by dates in Birmingham, Liverpool, Aberdeen, Dunfermline, Bristol, Manchester and many more across March and April next year.

Support for many of the shows comes in the form of another Britpop favourite, Crispin Mills and Kula Shaker, further pushing the Britpop nostalgia to its limits.

Looking ahead to the tour, frontman Simon Fowler said, “Having had such a great time playing festivals all through summer, we now have an incredible tour to look forward to in 2025.”

“And we’re delighted that our old friends Kula Shaker will be joining us for so many of these dates. See you there.”

Here’s all the information you need to add another Britpop celebration to your 2025 gig calendar.
