Two major chart toppers are going to be performing in Scarborough next summer.

Jess Glynne and Busted will be playing the Open Air Theatre - in June and August respectively.

The Brit Award-winning band – who have just completed a massive 26-date UK Arena Tour, playing to 200,000 fans, and seen their new album ‘Greatest Hits 2.0’ hit Number One – will headline the Theatre on Saturday August 31.

Next year marks seven years since Busted – Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Wills – played an unforgettable show at the Open Air Theatre.

Venue programmer Julian Murray, of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said:

“We know Busted fans are going to love this announcement.

“It’s hard to believe it will be seven years next summer since Charlie, James and Matt last performed here so their return is long overdue.

“Busted are one of the most successful pop groups Britain has produced in the last 30 years – with an arsenal of pop punk anthems – and they have just completed the biggest UK arena tour of 2023. This is going to be another incredible night here at Scarborough OAT!”

Jess, who headlined Scarborough OAT in 2017 and 2019, said:

“I can't wait to get back on stage and go live for all my people! It's gonna be a good year... let's go!”

The news follows the recent arrival of her latest single Friend of Mine.

She'll be taking to the stage at the Theatre on Saturday June 15.

Tickets for both gigs so on sale later this week, Thursday for Busted and Friday for Jess Glynne.
