The Human League: Everything you need to know about their Scarborough Open Air Theatre show

Formed in 1978, The Human League – led by Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley – have shaped the sound of electronic pop for more than four decades.

Their influence on both music and culture remains undeniable, with timeless anthems like Don't You Want Me, (Keep Feeling) Fascination, Love Action (I Believe in Love) and Mirror Man continuing to resonate with fans worldwide.

With nine studio albums, including the multi-platinum DARE, The Human League has sold more than 25 million records worldwide.

Their legacy is further solidified by numerous accolades, including a BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 1982 and three Ivor Novello Award nominations.

The band’s mix of political songwriting and innovative sound, along with their impact on music, fashion and club culture, has influenced generations of fans, inspired many artists, and left a lasting mark on pop history.

With a legacy approaching 50 years, fans can expect a night of timeless classics and the very best of 80s pop.
