Info
David Gray plays Scarborough Open Air Theatre on 4 July 2026, tracing his path from folk roots to the pared-back pulse of White Ladder. On stage, he leans on acoustic guitar and piano, touches of electronics and a voice with a rough-edged warmth. The set taps into songs like Babylon, This Year’s Love and Sail Away, while folding in later work from Life in Slow Motion, Gold in a Brass Age and Skellig. The arrangements stay clear and melodic, shifting from quiet verses to steady, rolling rhythms without losing the intimacy of his writing.
Also on the bill, The Divine Comedy, led by Neil Hannon, brings a taste for chamber-pop and literate storytelling. Across albums from Liberation and Promenade to Casanova, Fin de Siècle and Office Politics, the project blends strings, brass and bright keys with crisp pop structures. Live, songs such as National Express and Something for the Weekend sit alongside newer material, arranged for a band that can move from baroque detail to a leaner indie feel. A meeting of two distinct approaches to songwriting, in the open air at Scarborough.
