Scarborough Open Air Theatre is looking forward to a “summer to remember” after a whole host of big names acts have been announced to perform at the coastal venue next summer.

No fewer than six announcements on Monday – including singer songwriter Michael Buble making Scarborough one of just three UK dates next year – followed hot on the heels of American rockers Bowling for Soup being revealed as another big name for the iconic outdoor venue.

Peter Taylor, founder of venue promoters Cuffe and Taylor, who have programmed live music at Scarborough OAT since 2016, said: “2026 is going to be our biggest and best summer season ever.

“For the first time we will be staging more than 20 headline shows at this historic and special venue. We have announced 24 shows so far, and I’m delighted to say we have not finished revealing the line-up – so watch this space!

“Not only will these shows see some of music’s biggest stars head to Scarborough, but they attract thousands of visitors to the Yorkshire coast and will deliver a really important boost to the local economy.

“Get ready Scarborough – this is going to be a summer to remember!”
