Sea Power on their way to Cambridge

Brighton-based sextet Sea Power are about to embark on a 2025 UK headline tour, which includes dates in Cambridge, London, Manchester and Bristol.

These UK dates will focus on tracks that were adapted for the BAFTA-winning soundtrack for the computer game Disco Elysium - plus songs reimagined for the acclaimed film soundtracks for Man of Aran and From the Sea to the Land Beyond.

Forming at the close of the 20th century, the alternative rockers have won some remarkable fans – Lou Reed, David Bowie and Peter Capaldi, to name a few.

Originally named British Sea Power, the band released their debut album The Decline of British Sea Power in 2003, which received overwhelming praise.

“Stadium-sized melodies and exquisite songwriting,” said MOJO magazine, while The NME proclaimed: “Out of this world… a dazzling debut.”

The Sunday Times hailed them as “The best band in Britain”.

Their live reputation has brought the band to international status.

Having played on top of the Great Wall of China, at the CERN atom-research labs, and beside the diplodocus skeleton at London’s Natural History Museum, the uniqueness of Sea Power’s live performances are undeniable.

In 2022, the band released their seventh studio album Everything Was Forever which held the top spot on the official UK album charts for four days.

In 2019, the band were commissioned to compose an original soundtrack for ground-breaking game Disco Elysium, which went straight to the top of the gaming sales charts, achieved critical acclaim, and has won many major international awards.

From this, Sea Power won the BAFTA for best original soundtrack in 2020. The game has now sold more than six million copies and the soundtrack has become the bands biggest-selling album.

Sea Power will be appearing at the Cambridge Junction (J1) on Wednesday, 16 April. Tickets, priced £34.50, are available from junction.co.uk. For more on the band, go to seapowerband.com.
