Music fans have been treated to performances from Rick Astley and Fat Boy Slim at the latest TK Maxx presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre summer show.

One of the country’s most beloved pop stars, Rick returned to the historic Yorkshire coast venue with special guests Lightning Seeds for a feel-food Friday night of hits.

Opening his set with Never Gonna Stop from 2023 album Are We There Yet, followed swiftly by 1980s’ fan favourite Together Forever, Rick Astley went on to have the crowd singing and dancing through his 36-year career alongside covers from the likes of CHIC and AC/DC, with Good Times and Highway To Hell – which gave the singing star chance to show off his drum skills.

Opening the night were special guests Lightning Seeds, setting the tone for singalong anthems with their hits Life of Riley, Lucky You and Change.
