This is a huge coup for the town and we are delighted we have been able to make this happen.

“Noel is without question a British music legend and cultural icon who has written some of the biggest and best anthems of the last 30 years.

“Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is going to be an amazing night for Scarborough and we can’t wait to see the reaction to this great announcement.”
