The Ocean announce European tour

THE OCEAN have announced a headlining European tour!

Set to take place in January and February next year, the tour will see the German progressive metal band touring across mainland Europe and the UK in support of their upcoming new album, Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic, which is scheduled to be released in September. Support for the tour comes from PG. LOSTHYPNO5E and SVALBARD.

Speaking about the tour, the band says, “this tour has been planned for a long time already and despite the unprecedented situation we’re all currently going through, we decided to announce it and put tickets on sale now. We hope that this will serve as a strong positive statement for bands, promoters and music fans alike. As this develops, we have to assess, analyse and make the right decisions for everyone involved. The tour going ahead in early 2021 relies on many elements to fall into place, and if it can’t go ahead, then we have a backup routing in place already for later in the year, and all tickets purchased for this tour will be transferrable to that. Be assured that we will keep assessing this situation as we head later into 2020, and be in communication with everyone. Much love and we hope to see you guys out there in January!”
