Alanis Morissette to be joined by The Big Moon for Scarborough OAT gig
Mercury-nominated The Big Moon is the latest act heading to the Yorkshire coast to join the line-up for Alanis Morissette’s unmissable summer headline show.
The band will support the seven-time GRAMMY Award winning artist’s date at TK Maxx presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Sunday July 5 – one of just seven shows she is playing in the UK this year.
Alt-pop four-piece The Big Moon, who were formed in London in 2014 by lead singer Juliette Jackson, guitarist Soph Nathan, bassist Celia Archer and drummer Fern Ford, are one of the UK’s most widely respected and original bands.
Their debut album Love in the 4th Dimension was shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Prize in 2017. They followed their breakthrough with Walking Like We Do (2020) and 2022’s Here Is Everything, which became their first UK Top 10 album, and featured the singles Wide Eyes, Trouble and This Love.
For 30 years Alanis Morissette has been one of the most influential women in contemporary music with her deeply expressive song-writing and performances earning vast critical praise.
Her 1995 debut album Jagged Little Pill was followed by nine more eclectic and acclaimed albums and her music and most notable hits Ironic, You Oughta Know, Hand In My Pocket and Thank U remain as current today.
In 2021, Alanis’ sold-out world tour celebrating 25 years of Jagged Little Pill was the number one female-fronted tour of the year and in 2024 her 35-date North American Triple Moon Tour sold more than half a million tickets packing every venue to capacity.
Alanis Morisette is part of a Scarborough Open Air Theatre line-up that includes such artists as Hollywood Vampires, Michael Bublé, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, CMAT, Bastille, Richard Ashcroft, Anastacia, Scissor Sisters, Garbage, Skunk Anansie, James Taylor and Teddy Swims, plus many more.
Julian Murray, of Scarborough OAT promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said: “What a night of powerful female-fronted music we’ve got lined up for music fans in Scarborough! Alanis is a cultural phenomenon and the brilliant The Big Moon can only add to what is going to be a truly unmissable night at the Open Air Theatre in our record-breaking 28-show season.”
