OZRIC TENTACLES 24.11
We are thrilled to present cosmic rock pioneers Ozric Tentacles at Future Yard.
A band from another time, Ozric Tentacles served as the bridge from 70s cosmic rock to the organic dance and festival culture that came back into fashion during the 90s. The creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Ed Wynne, the Ozrics’ uniquely trippy soundscapes have connected fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and dance music culture since forming during the solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival 1983 and going on to become psychedelic staples at Glastonbury and other festivals for 4+ decades.
The band have tallied up more than 20 releases, and continue to explore space rock, prog and the weirder fringes of psychedelia. Members have come and gone, but their legacy remains intact – as does their huge fanbase of loyal fans who have travelled far and wide with the band on many planes.
FFO: Gong, Levellers, Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind
Doors: 7:30pm
Expected capacity: 180 (64%)
