The Orb + Ozric Tentacles in Bournemouth

Two titans of British psychedelic and electronic music share a bill in Bournemouth. The Orb, pioneers of ambient house, and Ozric Tentacles, the long-running instrumental rock collective known for their fusion of psychedelic rock, space rock, jazz fusion, and world music, bring their immersive live shows to the coast.

Ozric Tentacles, formed in 1983 at the Stonehenge Free Festival, have built a devoted following through decades of genre-blending performances and over 30 albums. Their sets are known for extended, improvisational jams that weave synthesizers, guitars, and global influences into a hypnotic soundscape. The Orb's legendary DJ and production work complements this with deep, atmospheric beats.

Attendees can expect a night of exploratory sound, with both acts renowned for creating a trance-like, celebratory atmosphere. The combination of The Orb's electronic textures and Ozric Tentacles' live instrumentation offers a rare double-bill for fans of boundary-pushing music.
