A concert by the American rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, with the New York alternative rock group Spin Doctors also on the bill, at O2 Academy Bristol.
Hootie & the Blowfish formed in Columbia, South Carolina, in the mid-1980s, and the band is built around Darius Rucker on vocals, with Mark Bryan on guitar, Dean Felber on bass and Jim Sonefeld on guitar among its core members. Their debut album, Cracked Rear View, released in 1994, became a multi-platinum success and produced the singles "Hold My Hand" and "Only Wanna Be with You". Their sound combines rock songwriting with Southern roots and soul inflections.

The concert takes place at O2 Academy Bristol, a Bristol venue for concerts and shows, and the bill brings together two American rock acts from the same decade.
