Scarborough Open Air Theatre Announces Huge August 2026 Gigs: The Streets & Scissor Sisters

Scarborough’s summer lineup just got a double dose of brilliance. Two iconic acts are set to light up the Open Air Theatre in August 2026, bringing nostalgia, energy, and unforgettable performances to the Yorkshire coast.

The Streets – Live on Yorkshire Day, Saturday 1 August 2026

Mike Skinner and The Streets will perform their legendary album A Grand Don’t Come for Free in full — a rare treat for fans and a perfect soundtrack to Yorkshire Day. Expect raw emotion, sharp storytelling, and beats that defined a generation. From “Dry Your Eyes” to “Fit But You Know It,” this is a gig that’ll resonate from the stage to the seafront.

Scissor Sisters – Glam Rock Returns, Saturday 8 August 2026

On 8 August, the Open Air Theatre transforms into a glittering dancefloor as Scissor Sisters bring their flamboyant, high-energy show to Scarborough. With hits like “Take Your Mama,” “Laura,” and “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’,” their set promises pure joy, theatrical flair, and a night of unapologetic celebration.
