The band announced this week they would be performing after racing on Saturday, August 5.

They said: “We are pleased to announce our appearance at Doncaster Racecourse. We look forward to seeing you there.”

A racecourse spokesman said: “Ocean Colour Scene are sure to be massive crowd pleasers when they appear.

“The band’s story is already the stuff of legend: a rip-roaring rock’n’folk odyssey set to a backdrop of 23 years of UK pop culture at its very best.

“OCS have notched up nine albums, three of which went top-five, and a run of nine successive top-20 hit singles commencing with 1996’s The Riverboat Song.
