19 photos, review and setlist of Stereophonics at Scarborough Open Air Theatre

Stereophonics made their second appearance at Scarborough Open Air Theatre, last night's show opening the venue's 2021 season and coming exactly 500 days since the band's last live appearance anywhere.

Perhaps because of the times we're in, the show was more subdued than their visit in 2018, with sparse lighting and backdrop and no runway into the audience. A frenetic C'est La Vie opened, and classic hits were interspersed with tracks from 2019 album Kind which slowed the pace and tempered the band's stomping guitar-driven anthems. Fan favourites The Bartender and The Thief, Mr and Mrs Smith, Maybe Tomorrow, Have A Nice Day and A Thousand Trees went down a storm, with Just Looking and Dakota closing the show.
