The Saturdays – Scarborough Open Air Theatre date change

Due to a scheduling conflict, the date of The Saturdays’ Scarborough Open Air Theatre show has been brought forward 24 hours.

The all-female multi-platinum selling band will now perform at the open air theatre on Friday 23 August.

The Saturday’s management team has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the date change.

In a statement they said: “Team Sats UK! Due to scheduling conflicts we’ve had to bring the date of our Scarborough Open Air Theatre show forward by one day. The show will now take place on Friday August 23. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. We hope everyone can make the new date and we’ll get to see you all down the front on August 23! Tickets are still available from Ticketmaster so buy yours now before they’re all gone!”

Scarborough Borough Council says tickets already bought will still be valid on the new date. For those people unable to make the show, full refunds are being offered; for tickets bought locally, the booking fee will also be refunded.

Cllr David Chance, the council’s Cabinet Member for Tourism and Culture, said: “The change of date is due to circumstances not in our control – we hope everyone will still be able to make the new date and make it another fantastic night to remember at Scarborough Open Air Theatre.”

Since The Saturdays formed in 2007, the band has become a household name in the UK with 11 Top 10 singles (including signature hits like ‘All Fired Up’ and ‘Higher’) and three Top 10 albums (‘Chasing Lights’ ,‘Wordshaker’ and ‘Headlines’). Renowned for their energetic live performances, band members Rochelle, Una, Frankie, Mollie and Vanessa have clocked up three nationwide headline tours to date, including the 2011 All Fired Up arena tour.

The band has also become unavoidable on screens across the nation, not least as part of its own fly-on-the-wall television shows, ‘The Saturdays 24/7’ and ‘What Goes On Tour’.
