+ support from Teri & The Electric Sunrise

Get ready for something completely unique and wonderfully trippy from UK based instrumental intergalactic travellers – Ozric Tentacles as they make their debut at The Grand.

Ozric Tentacles are regarded as one of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK’s festival scene, formed during the solstice at Stonehenge Free Festival 1983 going on to become psychedelic staples at Glastonbury and other festivals. The creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Ed Wynne, the Ozrics’ uniquely trippy soundscapes connect fans of progressive rock, psychedelia and dance music culture.  

Over the years the band has gone through many line-up changes, with only Ed Wynne (guitar and keyboards) maintaining a constant presence. The sonically illustrated excursion through the musical realms the band have explored has resulted in 17 albums to date, with their latest, Lotus Unfolding, released in their 40th anniversary year. The band maintain their identity and continue to tour worldwide and produce intriguing albums.

Teri & The Electric Sunrise

From the depths of Northern England, raised in the mill towns and coastal regions of the red rose county, ‘Teri & The Electric Sunrise’ provide an escape from the harsh realities of working-class life.

Their music is a journey of beauty featuring enchanted vocals and dreamlike soundscapes but this musical voyage can go in several directions with a strong leaning towards groove and improvisation…. but always arriving with a full on psychedelic rock wall of sound! The live show takes influence from multiple genres, blending space rock with psychedelic groove rock/fusion, this rollercoaster ride is not for the faint of heart.

Psychedelic groove rock/fusion. Featuring- Tom Vernon (guitar), Teri Birtwistle (vocals/guitar), Gary Ward (bass/voice), Tony Harrison (drums/samples), Matt Panesh (synths).
