18:00 - The Wombats – Scarborough Open Air Theatre 2022
15 years and three top 5 UK albums into their career, The Wombatsare pulling in a bigger audience than ever before. The viral success of Oliver Nelson's remix of their 2015 hit 'Greek Tragedy' on TikTok has enraptured a whole new generation of fans, a feat they've managed to continually repeat since their 2007 debut A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation. Used in over 600,000 videos (some of which have over 100 million views), the remix has rocketed to over 30 million streams, propelling the original to 120 million streams and sending it Gold in the US. It's also helped them amass an extra 2.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify since just January; further illustration, if any were needed, of The Wombats' ability to reach new generations of fans through the timeless power of their songwriting and lyrics alone.
With a summer ahead that includes second from top billings at Reading & Leeds Festivalmain stage and Neighbourhood Weekender, plus their biggest ever UK headline tourset for 2022, this is only the start of what's to come as fans new and old gear up for the next exciting chapter from one of Britain's most adored bands.
