Ocean Colour Scene: Moseley Shoals 30th Anniversary Tour

Ocean Colour Scene, often cited as the epitome of the Britpop/rock mod revivalist movement, are scheduled to play in Brighton later this year. The band, indie legends from Birmingham with a history spanning 30 years, five Top 10 albums, and six Top 10 singles—including classics like 'The Day We Caught the Train' and 'The Riverboat Song'—are touring to celebrate a major milestone.

This event is part of the 30th Anniversary Tour for their seminal album, Moseley Shoals. If you’re looking to catch them, the date is set for Tuesday, December 8, 2026, at the Brighton Centre on Kings Road. The doors are scheduled to open at 6:30 pm, so you’ll have plenty of time to get settled before the music starts. Adding to the lineup, OCS is bringing The Enemy along as the special guest for the evening, ensuring a strong night of British indie rock.

Regarding tickets, the event is paid, and the official nominal value tickets started at £40.70, including fees. For context, the general sale began back on October 17, 2025, following earlier presales. If you missed those initial drops, resale options have been noted starting around £97.62. For those looking for a more premium experience, there are also VIP and upgraded packages available through Seat Unique. Note that there is a restriction limiting purchases to a maximum of six tickets per person.

The Brighton Centre, which has a capacity of around 4,500, offers both seated and standing options for the show. If you plan on being in the thick of it, be aware of the age restriction: the standing area is strictly 14+. It’s useful to have these logistics sorted ahead of time for what is expected to be a significant night for fans of the era and the band.
