Ozric Tentacles

Ozric Tentacles have long been a singular force in the world of British instrumental and electronic music, crafting mesmerising soundscapes that merge psychedelic rock, electronic experimentation, and progressive structures. Forged in the crucible of the UK festival scene in 1983, the band’s journey from Stonehenge Free Festival stalwarts to internationally revered innovators owes much to the visionary guidance of multi-instrumentalist Ed Wynne. Their work brims with undulating synthesiser textures and soaring guitar lines, an unmistakable signature that has influenced generations of musicians and fans alike.

Continuing to evolve their esoteric art, Ozric Tentacles released the acclaimed album "Lotus Unfolding" in October 2023, further cementing their status at the forefront of experimental rock. The ensemble is renowned for their vibrant live shows—most recently headlining the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth—where they envelop audiences in hypnotic grooves and dynamic interplay. On stage, the band’s synergy is palpable, drawing aficionados of psychedelic, instrumental, and electronic music into immersive sonic journeys.

Ozric Tentacles’ enduring appeal is evident with a robust schedule of concerts and tour dates between 2025 and 2026 across the United Kingdom, including headline sets at venues such as the O2 Academy 2 Oxford, Lewes Con Club, and The Bodega in Nottingham. They will also appear as a support act for The Orb at QMU in Glasgow and the Boiler Shop in Newcastle upon Tyne, creating unmissable collaborations for fans of experimental live music.
