This winter, the UK is set to witness an unprecedented musical phenomenon as two titans of the psych-dance realm, The Orb and Ozric Tentacles, announce a groundbreaking co-headline tour. For fans of ambient, psychedelic rock, and dance music, this tour promises to be an unforgettable journey through sound and space.
The Orb, known for their ambient soundscapes mixed with pulsing rhythms, and Ozric Tentacles, with their blend of instrumental psychedelic rock, ethnic beats, and spacey soundscapes, are joining forces to offer audiences an evening of audio-visual sensory overload. The tour is not just a series of concerts; it’s an invitation to experience the pinnacle of underground psych-dance culture.
The tour will sweep through major cities across the UK, including Manchester, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Bristol, Oxford, and London. Starting in November and wrapping up in early December, each venue promises to be the epicenter of an extraordinary audio-visual feast:
The Orb, led by the visionary Alex Paterson, continues to evolve and surprise, thirty-five years into their interstellar journey. With the release of Prism, their eighteenth studio album, and a history of collaboration with legends like David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, The Orb remains at the forefront of the ambient music scene. The upcoming Best of The Orb set in 2024 is highly anticipated, marking another milestone in their illustrious career.
Ozric Tentacles stands as a pillar of the UK’s festival scene, blending progressive rock, psychedelia, and dance music into a unique sonic tapestry. From their humble beginnings at the Stonehenge Free Festival to becoming staples at Glastonbury, the Ozrics have carved out a distinct niche in the music world. Their journey through various musical landscapes has been illustrated across 17 albums, culminating in their latest, ‘Lotus Unfolding,’ released in their 40th anniversary year.
This co-headline tour by The Orb and Ozric Tentacles is more than a series of live performances; it’s a historical musical event that promises to blend the best of ambient, psychedelic, and dance music. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to their music, this tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich soundscapes and vibrant rhythms of two of the most innovative acts in the UK’s underground music scene.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, and given the legendary status of both bands, they’re expected to sell out quickly. Make sure to secure your spot for this unparalleled musical experience. This winter, let The Orb and Ozric Tentacles transport you to another dimension of sound and sensation.
