WET Wet Wet will be hoping for rather more clement weather when they play Scarborough Open Air Theatre on July 30.

The Glasgow pop and soul band have accrued four chart-topping albums and 13 Top Top singles, including the number ones With A Little Help From My Friends, Goodnight Girl and Love Is All Around, in a 34-year career where they have notched up 15 million single and album sales.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am tomorrow and will be available from scarboroughopenairtheatre.com or ticketmaster.co.uk or in person from the Scarborough Open Air Theatre box office in Burniston Road.

The concert has been organised by promoters Cuffe and Taylor, whose director, Peter Taylor, said: "Wet Wet Wet are one of the most successful British pop bands of all time. Their songs form the soundtrack to many people's formative years and beyond, and they sound as fresh and as vibrant today as they ever have.

“They're not only a veritable jukebox of classic pop hits which everyone knows, but they're an incredible live act. We cannot wait to welcome the boys to Scarborough; this is shaping up to be a wonderful summer of live music on the Yorkshire coast.”

Wet Wet Wet – Graeme Clark, Tommy Cunningham, Neil Mitchell and singer Marti Pellow – have featured in the UK official singles and album charts for 510 weeks and played to more than four million people in 25 countries around the world. In February and March, they took their 16-date The Big Picture arena tour around Britain and they last played the great Yorkshire outdoors in a post-racing Music Showcase concert at York Racecourse in July 2014.
