Embracing classic pop and guitar jams in equal measure, Ocean Colour Scene (OCS) defined the best qualities of British trad rock that surfaced during the second half of the 1990s.

Their album Moseley Shoals went triple platinum in the UK, featuring iconic tracks like The Riverboat Song, You've Got It Bad, and The Day We Caught the Train. Success continued with 1997’s album Marchin' Already, which produced hits such as Hundred Mile High City and Travellers Tune.

In total, OCS have seventeen Top 40 singles and six Top Ten singles. In the years since their Britpop heyday, the band have continued to draw inspiration from soul, folk, and blues greats, keeping their classic rock flame lit by consistently recording and touring. They promise a rip-roaring live set in Guildhall Square.

Echobelly, led by the charismatic Sonya Madan, will bring a fusion of punk, glam, and new wave. With influential albums like Everyone's Got One and On, Echobelly's impact on '90s British indie music is undeniable.

The trio of bands invite fans to immerse themselves in the true essence of Britpop with an event that will transport them back to the golden days of the '90s.

The 2025 dates follow the inaugural Southampton Summer Sessions last year.

Throughout June and July 2024, it attracted more than 26,000 visitors to the city over the various events.

Artists included Tom Jones, Madness, Loyle Carner, Nile Rodgers and CHIC, Kaiser Chiefs and more.
