Deacon Blue announce date at Scarborough Open Air Theatre
They'll perform next summer
Scottish pop-rock greats Deacon Blue are bringing their unmistakable and era-defining sound to the Yorkshire coast for a massive outdoor show.
The Dignity and Real Gone Kid hitmakers – who continue to go from strength to strength – head to the 8,000-capacity Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Friday June 21.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday October 27 via scarboroughopenairtheatre.co.uk
Deacon Blue join pop superstar Jess Glynne, rock legends Status Quo and pop punksters Busted among the first headliners to be announced for Scarborough OAT’s 2024 summer season of shows, presented by Cuffe and Taylor.
Julian Murray, Cuffe and Taylor’s Scarborough OAT venue programmer, said: “Deacon Blue are right up there with the bands people have most requested we bring to Scarborough OAT – so we are delighted to oblige!
“They continue to thrive well into their fourth decade as one of British music’s most important and influential bands. They have written and recorded some incredible songs and albums down the years.
“They are winning rave reviews and playing to sell-out crowds on their current UK arena tour and we would advise fans to not hang around when tickets go on sale for the Scarborough OAT show this Friday.”
Songwriter and vocalist Ricky Ross said: "It feels like the right time to celebrate that; to release something that’s a true compilation of our music so far.
We’ve added so many songs, albums and EPs which have become a strong part of Deacon Blue and our live repertoire since The Hipsters.”
