Live at Tileyard North: Rock royalty Ocean Colour Scene announced as fourth headliner
Ocean Colour Scene have been announced as the latest headliner for Live at Tileyard North, a new series of outdoor concerts taking place in Wakefield this summer.
Presented by local independent promoters Futuresound, Live at Tileyard North will bring Wakefield’s first outdoor concert series to life with two weeks of incredible outdoor live music experiences in the courtyard of the impressive Tileyard North development.
Formed from the ashes of two disbanding groups, Ocean Colour Scene spent six years rebalancing a diverse range of trad rock and avant garde inspirations, catching the attention of likeminded luminaries Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher in the process.
Over the years they have amassed an incredible catalogue of ten studio albums, which collectively feature 17 top 40 Singles and an impressive run of nine successive top 20 hits, not to mention 35 years of live shows, recently documented and celebrated in a monumental boxset release: Yesterday, Today 1992-2018.
Joining Ocean Colour Scene in Wakefield will be a triumvirate of exciting new guitar music from the north with very special guests Wigan’s high-energy indie outfit The Lilacs, melodic Mancunian indie rockers M60 and Liverpool-born jangle pop fourpiece Keyside.
The band is the latest announcement for this summer’s Live at Tileyard North with fellow headliners the Vaccines on Sunday, August 30 and Sophie Ellis Bextor on Thursday, August 27.
Ocean Colour Scene will take to the stage on Saturday, August 29.
Postcode pre-sale for residents local to Tileyard North will open at 10am on Wednesday, January 28 here.
General sale opens at 10am on Friday, January 30 here.
