The following evening, Sunday 18th July, brings together Ronan Keating and Blue for another big night of live music. For anyone who grew up listening to British and Irish pop music, this is likely to be a particularly nostalgic addition to Scarborough’s summer programme.
Alfie Boe with Gravity – 25th July 2027

Later in the summer, Simply Red will perform on Tuesday 17th August. The venue currently lists this concert as sold out.
There’s More to Scarborough Than the Open Air Theatre
The concerts may grab the headlines, but they aren’t the only reason to visit Scarborough in 2027. Visit North Yorkshire highlights a varied annual events programme in the town, from arts and cultural events associated with Scarborough Fair to summer motorcycle races at Oliver’s Mount, Armed Forces Day celebrations, Scarborough Cricket Festival and the Scarborough Jazz Festival.
Later in the year, events continue with activities including Autumn Daze and Moonlight on the Lake at Peasholm Park, while the festive period brings celebrations including Scarborough Sparkle.
Alongside the larger events, venues including the Stephen Joseph Theatre and Scarborough Spa provide year-round entertainment encompassing theatre, music, comedy, festivals and film.
That means you don’t necessarily need to plan your visit around one particular event. There’s always plenty to discover alongside the beaches, walks, countryside and attractions that make this part of the Yorkshire Coast such a popular place for a getaway.
Make a Scarborough Event into a Yorkshire Coast Break
Heading to an event doesn’t have to mean travelling to Scarborough and home again on the same day. Staying at Low Moor Holiday Cottages gives you the opportunity to turn a concert, show or event into a proper Yorkshire Coast escape.
Located just outside the village of Scalby, the cottages offer a peaceful countryside setting while remaining within easy reach of Scarborough. The cottages are approximately three miles from Scarborough, with the North Bay beaches around a 10-minute drive away.
Spend the day exploring Scarborough, enjoy your event in the evening, then return to the quieter surroundings of your own self-catering cottage. There’s more to discover further afield too. Low Moor Holiday Cottages is around 25 minutes from Whitby, while York can be reached in around 50 minutes by car, according to the property’s website.
Stay at Low Moor Holiday Cottages in 2027
If a 2027 Scarborough event has caught your eye, why not turn it into a few days away?
At Low Moor Holiday Cottages, you’ll find a collection of Yorkshire stone cottages alongside a detached wooden lodge, situated just outside Scalby and within the North York Moors National Park. Guests also benefit from private parking, free Wi-Fi and walks from the door.
Better still, Low Moor offers any-day arrivals, giving you more flexibility when you’re trying to fit your stay around a concert or event rather than a traditional changeover day.
Take a look at our Scarborough holiday cottages and start planning your 2027 Yorkshire Coast break.
