Indie-rock outfit Ocean Colour Scene have announced a show at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre for December 8th 2023. Tickets from €43.55 are due to go on sale this Friday, March 24th at 10am.

Having formed in 1989 in Birmingham, the band spent six years defining their sound before the release of their first three Top 5 albums: 1996’s ‘Moseley Shoals’, 1997’s ‘Marchin’ Already’ and 1999’s ‘One From The Modern’. OCS have also garnered 17 Top 40 singles over the course of their career which include an impressive run of nine successive Top 20 singles.

At the core of their success are great songs, with words and melodies which resonate with the public. The group’s celebrated live shows are what have cemented the bond between the band, and their dedicated fanbase, with each concert creating the space for a communal outpouring of hope and joy.

We are pleased to announce that Belfast and Dublin have been added to the 2023 UK & Ireland tour! Tickets will be available in the exclusive pre-sale along with the rest of the dates on Wednesday 22nd March at 9am. Signup for the pre-sale now - https://t.co/JXLW0QZNo7 pic.twitter.com/cD6GPEFI2h

Speaking about the upcoming shows, frontman Simon Fowler said, “After starting with a short run of dates in the summer, it’s going to be great ending the year on the road with Ocean Colour Scene, playing all the hits and more for some proper pre-Christmas partying with our fans who are the best in the land.”

The group’s guitarist, Steve Cradock added, “This feels like the first proper tour Ocean Colour Scene have done in years. Last year we managed six dates because of the World Cup, and the year before Covid was still scaring people, so we are going to make it something special. Roll up roll up for the magical OCS Tour!”

Tickets from €43.55 including booking fees will be available from 10am March 24th.
