On 20 November 2026 the O2 Academy Liverpool will host a rare double-bill concert featuring The Orb and Ozric Tentacles, promising an immersive evening where the Orbit’s languid, dub-infused ambient soundscapes meet the Ozrics’ kaleidoscopic space-rock and shimmering synth-led improvisations; expect a sprawling sonic journey punctuated by deep grooves, propulsive rhythms, and shimmering guitar work that shifts seamlessly between hypnotic textures and ecstatic peaks. The intimate but vibrant setting of the O2 Academy will amplify the bands’ penchant for live experimentation, with swirling visuals, layered electronics, and extended instrumental passages creating an otherworldly atmosphere that invites both longtime devotees and newcomers to lose themselves in the music. With both acts known for their dynamic live presence and spontaneous interplay, the show should feel less like a setlist of songs and more like a shared voyage through psychedelic soundscapes, where moments of meditative calm give way to bursts of ecstatic noise. Fans in Liverpool and beyond are advised to arrange tickets early to ensure they don’t miss this distinctive collision of ambient house, dub, and progressive psychedelia on a night that promises to be as sonically adventurous as it is emotionally transporting.
