Book tickets: Ocean Colour Scene Christmas show at Albert Hall

Having broken through in the heady Britpop days of the mid-1990s when football first threatened to come home, Chris Evans ruled the airwaves and bucket hats were everywhere Ocean Colour Scene have been a constant staple of the thumping anthemic indie that pretenders still attempt to emulate today. Just before the beginning of advent they will be playing a special night at Albert Hall with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas as part of their series of Christmas shows. We challenge you to watch the video below and not immediately book tickets for yourself and everyone you knew in the nineties. On sale Fri 27 Jul at 9am so set your alarms.
