Aussie psych-rock six-piece, Ocean Alley, have just announced their much-awaited return to the UK. Fans can mark their calendars for September 2024 as the band will be hitting the stages of Academy in Manchester on the 20th and London’s iconic Roundhouse on the 21st. Tickets will go live from 10 am on 7th December here.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of their successful summer 2023 tour, which saw them performing at London’s Troxy and selling out the Roundhouse the year prior. The band’s 2024 return is fueled by the extraordinary success of their 6 x platinum hit ‘Confidence’ from the 2018 album Chiaroscuro.
