Pendulum: Everything you need to know about tonight's Scarborough Open Air Theatre show

Pendulum are headlining at Scarborough Open Air Theatre tonight (Friday June 20) - here’s all you need to know about the gig.

Pendulum marked the end of a self-imposed hiatus earlier this year with two new stunning EPs Elemental and Anima along with a sensational run of headline festival shows.

It has been an incredible journey for Pendulum since they formed in their native Perth in 2002.

Releasing their critically acclaimed debut album Hold Your Colour in 2005, which included monster tracks Slam, Fasten Your Seatbelt, Tarantula and Blood Sugar, Pendulum became instantly known for their unique blend of high-tempo productions and energetic shows.

Led by Rob Swire and bandmates Gareth McGrillen and Paul Harding, the album went platinum and the band set about taking the world by storm.

By the time 2008’s platinum-selling follow up In Silico arrived, Pendulum were one of electronic music’s biggest live acts, with the album spawning the now legendary productions Granite and Propane Nightmares.

Headlining stages at festivals worldwide, including Download, Creamfields, Coachella, Rock Am Ring, Reading/Leeds and T in the Park, Pendulum’s momentum continued to grow before releasing their third studio album in 2010, Immersion which shot straight to Number 1 in the UK album charts.

After hitting the peak of their success, and to the shock of their fans, the guys decided in 2012 to take a break from the band and shifted their focus onto their Knife Party project.
