Everything you need to know about CMAT's Scarborough Open Air Theatre show
CMAT is performing at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday July 18 - here’s all you need to know!
It’s hard to believe it’s only been five years since CMAT, aka Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, burst onto the music scene with her debut single Another Day (KFC) and quickly became one of the most distinctive and talked-about voices in modern pop.
Her debut album If My Wife New I’d Be Dead and the Ivor Novello–nominated Crazymad, For Me topped the Irish album charts, earning widespread acclaim for their mix of biting humour, emotional honesty and irresistible melody — and secured her a place on the BBC Sound of 2024 list.
CMAT’s latest album EURO-COUNTRY, has taken her star to new heights.
Nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize Album of the Year 2025, the record features the viral hit Take A Sexy Picture Of Me — her first UK Top 100 single and the spark behind a global TikTok craze — the album explores themes of identity, grief and beauty standards with her signature wit and vulnerability.
The doors open at 6pm and an assortment of food and drink stalls are available inside the concert area.
