A record-breaking 90,000 people watched shows at Scarborough OAT in 2018 with sell-out gigs from the likes of Britney Spears, Lionel Richie, Bastille and Gary Barlow.

And venue programmers Cuffe and Taylor have pledged they will be bringing more of music’s biggest stars to Europe’s largest open air arena in 2019.

Director Peter Taylor said: “2018 was quite simply a sensational year at Scarborough Open Air Theatre enjoyed by more than 90,000 people.

“The challenge is always how do you follow that? But we have another brilliant run of shows lined up for next year which we feel sure will appeal to a wide audience.
