Ocean Colour Scene's seven date Christmas Tour kicks off tomorrow, and the plan is to use the gigs to showcase some of the band's new material. Here's what frontman Simon Fowler says: "The Christmas Tour is going to offer us the opportunity to showcase our new album. We've been locked up in the studio working on this for the past year and it's going to be great to finally get out there so the fans can get to hear the new material and see our brand new show. We're all incredibly pleased with the album and it's incredibly important that we showcase our new tunes to our fans first before the album is released"

Sat 16 Dec: London Astoria
Sun 17 Dec: Birmingham Academy
Mon 18 Dec: Newcastle City Hall
