Global superstar Shania Twain to kick off UK tour at Scarborough Open Air Theatre

The eight-date run begins at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Wednesday June 16 before heading out across the country.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am Friday via scarboroughopenairtheatre.com and ticketmaster.co.uk

The announcement follows the release of Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, the deluxe edition of Shania’s acclaimed seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain. Released this July, Little Miss Twain marked a significant and deeply personal chapter for Shania. After more than three decades as one of the most successful and influential artists in music, the global superstar turned back to the beginning, revisiting the experiences, sounds and memories that shaped her before the world knew her name.

Drawing from her childhood and teenage years growing up in Canada, the acclaimed album traces the roots of her singular sound across country, pop, rock, soul and bluegrass, offering a revealing portrait of the influences behind an artist who would go on to reshape the boundaries of country and pop music. The album also features an exceptional lineup of collaborators including Tanya Tucker, T Bone Burnett, Ronnie Wood, Josh Homme, Ray Parker Jr., and Toto's David Paich. With Little Miss Twain – The Places I’ll Go, Shania expands that story, offering an even deeper look at the formative experiences and musical influences behind both the artist and icon she would become.

Also recently released was the audiobook of Shania's 2011 memoir, From This Moment On, now available with narration from Shania herself. The bestselling book traces her tumultuous rise to stardom and features a new foreword with personal reflections on her journey.

Shania’s influence remains as far-reaching as ever. In 2027, she will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Come On Over and the 25th anniversary of Up!, two era-defining albums that transformed country and pop music, broke barriers around the world and cemented her status as a global icon. With a huge run of live dates in 2027, and a biopic chronicling her life and career also in development, Shania continues to look ahead while celebrating the music and milestones that have defined her extraordinary career.

Julian Murray of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, venue programmers at Scarborough OAT, said: “Shania Twain is a global icon and someone we are delighted to be welcoming to Scarborough. She has achieved the kind of success that people dream of and as one of the best-selling female country pop artists of all time, that success and influence is infinite.

“We have welcomed some of the biggest female artists to Scarborough over the years –, Kylie, Britney, Alanis Morissette and Christina Aguilera to name a few – and now to add Shania Twain to that legacy is something quite special. This is going to be a big night.”

Shania Twain is the latest artist announced for 2027 at Scarborough OAT which will also see headline shows from Kings of Leon, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, Bananarama, Alex Warren, Kaiser Chiefs, Alfie Boe, Ronan Keating, Jack Savoretti and James Morrison and Simply Red.
