Singer Will Young heads to Scarborough Spa as part of new tour

He has announced a brand new single, Falling Deep, the first single taken from Will’s forthcoming ninth studio album, Light It Up, which is out on August 9.

To celebrate this new album, Young has just announced that his is embarking on his most intimate tour yet – taking shape as an up close and personal evening of acoustic performances, stories and conversation.

The 50-date UK tour will kick off in September through to November and will be heading to Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday, October 12.

He is also playing at Bridlington Spa on September 10.

He said: “I wanted to go to smaller venues so I could properly get around the country rather than just playing the big cities.”

For a performer who thrives on stage, having done eight sold-out national tours and countless festival appearances – he has performed at Glastonbury three times – it feels like he’s hitting a new stride with renewed vigour.

“Whatever I do though, I can finally connect to the fun of it all and that is a place I never thought I would get back to so I’ll take it,” he said.

“It has been such a tough time and to be out the other side, it is just so exciting to produce a complete pop album.

"The crafting of pop music can be so fun and the challenge to sing those songs is something I’ve relished.”

Tickets for the Scarborough show on sale from Friday April 26, 10am.
