Masters of music in the Britpop scene OCS supported top acts such as Paul Weller and Oasis and received international acclaim for their second album Moseley Shoals. The band continue to enjoy sell out crowds and will be paying homage to their Moseley Shoals album plus many more of their renowned singles at Doncaster Racecourse on 5th August.

Abby Chandler, Head of Marketing at Doncaster Racecourse said: “We are delighted to welcome two huge bands to our Music Live line-up. Both bands have stood the test of time and continue to sell out wherever they play. They both have a dedicated following but more recently have attracted new fans to their classic rock pop sounds.
“Both OCS and Texas will play live on stage following a day of racing here at Doncaster which will offer our visitors a fantastic day and night of entertainment.”
OCS will play following the Unison Race day on Saturday 5th August and Texas will be live on stage on Saturday 19th August after the Sun Bets Music Live afternoon racing.

Texas have added Doncaster to their European tour which is promoting their latest album Jump on Board.
