Released in April 1996, at the height of the Britpop era, Moseley Shoals was Ocean Colour Scene’s second album, and immediately became a huge success. Reaching number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, Moseley Shoals featured the massive hit singles The Riverboat Song, You’ve Got It Bad, The Day We Caught The Train and The Circle, and was certified as triple-platinum after spending 92 weeks on the chart.

In August that year, Oasis invited Ocean Colour Scene to be their special guests at one of their historic concerts held at Knebworth. Performing a blistering set in front 125000 people, Ocean Colour Scene firmly cemented their status as one of Britain’s biggest bands.

For the Moseley Shoals 30th anniversary tour, in addition to playing all the highlights from Moseley Shoals, Ocean Colour Scene will play a career-spanning set to include all of their other hits and fan favourites, such as Hundred Mile High City, Travellers Tune, Better Day and Profit In Peace, amongst many others.

Ocean Colour Scene’s 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 this very special anniversary and celebrate with our amazing fans at some of the UK’s most prestigious venues.”

Guitarist Steve Craddock said, “As a thirty-year celebration of Moseley Shoals, we will be playing many of the songs from this great album. They will be part of a set and show that will be special, and a peak for us as a group. Thanks for the support. See you all in 2026.”

Drummer Oscar Harrison said, “Our 2026 UK tour is something we are going to celebrate in a very big way. As with our sold-out tour this year, these dates will be all the more special for having my boy Leon on percussion and Steve’s son, Cass, on keys and guitar, enabling us to deliver the full Ocean Colour Scene sound for our fans. This one’s for them.”

Formed in Birmingham in 1989, Ocean Colour Scene began crafting songs in the spirit of the soul, folk and blues greats who inspired them, with words and melodies that would soon chime with the hearts and minds of the group’s fiercely loyal fanbase.Ocean Colour Scene are not only one of the UK’s most successful groups, they are also renowned as one of the country’s very best live bands.

The tour’s very special guests The Enemy formed in Coventry in 2006, and saw their debut album We’ll Live and Die in These Towns go straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart in 2007. The album also included the hit singles Away From Here, Had Enough and You’re Not Alone, in addition to the album’s title track.

This was followed by 2009’s Music for The People, which reached number 2 on the UK albums chart, and 2012’s Streets In The Sky, which climbed to number 4.

Looking ahead to the tour, The Enemy’s lead singer Tom Clarke said, “I still have my first guitar, and the first song I learned to play on it was The Day We Caught The Train by Ocean Colour Scene. On the headstock is Simon Fowler’s signature. In twenty years of touring with other artists, I’ve never asked for another musician’s signature. That’s the only one I needed.
