Music Breaks in Scarborough: A Mix of Coastal Vibes and Live Tunes

When good music and coastal fun collide, it can mean only one thing: The unforgettable live music season in Scarborough, the place to be in summer 2025!

With the biggest names hitting the stage at Scarborough Open Air Theatre, the seaside town is the perfect destination for those wanting more than just a gig. Imagine seeing some of the best bands around live, while enjoying the charm of Scarborough’s stunning coastline and everything else the resort has to offer.

What makes this even better? Caledonian Travel has put together a series of music breaks that takes care of everything for you - from your travel to your stay, and of course, your tickets to these epic shows.

It’s the kind of summer experience that leaves you with sun, sea, and some serious tunes stuck in your head!

The Soundtrack of Summer

Scarborough’s 2025 is looking bright with The Script and Texas named as headliners at the OAT in the summer. And, whether it’s the anthemic power of The Script and their hits like ‘Breakeven’ and ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, or the timeless iconic cool-rock of Texas, led by Sharleen Spiteri, belting out classics like ‘Say What You Want’—the vibe is set for nights you won’t forget.

These bands have ruled the charts for decades and seeing them perform live in such a unique setting is a chance to relive those moments that take you right back.

And the venue? Well, Scarborough Open Air Theatre has already earned its great reputation of being one of the best concert venues in the UK. It’s the largest outdoor music venue in Europe, and there’s something special about catching your favourite band here. The sea breeze in the air and the sunny evenings turning to stars overhead as the music plays and the lights take hold.

Music Meets the Coast

Mixing your gig break with a laid-back break by the sea is getting more popular every year. Scarborough, with its sweeping bays and sandy beaches, offers the perfect backdrop to kick back before the show and Caledonian Travel’s packages include your stay at the cosy Caledonian New Southlands Hotel, a stone’s throw from the beach and all the must-see spots.

Your days are free to explore Scarborough at your own pace. Take in the fresh sea air along the promenade, wander through the town and enjoy its attractions, or even hop over to Whitby for a taste of gothic history and that classic Yorkshire vibe. It’s the kind of break where the excitement of live music is balanced with the relaxation of a classic British seaside holiday.
