We are bringing Embrace to O2 Academy Oxford for a special outstore event on 6th June 2026, celebrating their forthcoming ninth album "Avalanche". Written and recorded as the band mark their 30th anniversary, "Avalanche" strips things back emotionally and sonically, favouring honesty, imperfection and human connection over polish. Reflective and deeply resonant, this show offers a chance to experience Embrace’s most open and human work to date.
We strongly encourage you to support Embrace by purchasing a CD or Vinyl bundle - every album sale helps push them up the charts during that all-important first week.
📦 Albums can be ordered for:
- Store collection: (Oxford or Witney). Albums will be available to collect upon the release date of 12th June 2026. We'll reach out to you a few weeks before the event to confirm your preferred collection location. If you'd like to collect your album, please select the collection option at the checkout.
- Postage: If preferred, for an additional fee we can post your bundle(s) to your address. These will be shipped to you for the album release date of 12th June 2026. If you'd like your album posted, please select the postage option at checkout.
🌟 What to expect on the night:
- A live performance from Embrace.
