Pop sensation Rick Astley is performing at Scarborough Open Air Theatre tonight (June 5) - Here’s all you need to know!

Rick Astley’s story is a remarkable career of two chapters.

Following a sold-out UK arena tour in early 2024, Rick embarked on an exciting summer of shows including Latitude,TRNSMT and several other great festivals. In early autumn Rick released his first autobiography, NEVER. The book, published by Macmillan, entered the top 5 Sunday Times Bestseller list and stayed in the top 10 leading up until Christmas. Following this release, Rick undertook a 10-date book tour throughout October. Joining Rick Astley on the Open Air Theatre stage tonight will be special guests Lottery Winners.
