British music icons Simply Red are heading back to Scarborough Open Air Theatre next summer.
Fresh from the success of their Top 10 album Blue Eyed Soul, Mick Hucknall’s today confirmed a headline show at the venue on Friday 22nd July 2022.
Tickets go on general sale via scarboroughopenairtheatre.com at 9am on Friday 26th November 2021.
This will be a long-awaited return to Scarborough OAT for the pop-soul legends who last headlined the Yorkshire coast venue in August 2016.
Speaking about returning to the stage in 2022, Mick Hucknall said: “I’ve spent most of my life going out and singing for people, so it feels strange not to have that.
“I miss being able to express myself. It's going to be wonderfully inspiring when people can go and see bands again. I can’t wait.”
Simply Red join a line-up of headliners at Scarborough OAT in 2022 which includes Lionel Richie, Lewis Capaldi, Bryan Adams, Crowded House and Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
Scarborough OAT venue programmer Peter Taylor said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Simply Red back to Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
“Mick Hucknall is a music legend and he and his band sound as relevant and as fresh today as they did when Simply Red first burst into the public consciousness almost 40 years ago.
“We have had so many requests for them to return so we are delighted to oblige and reveal they will be back at this special venue next summer.”
