Blue to Play Scarborough Spa in September

Tuesday, 13 February 2024 10:06

By Matthew Pells

BLUE will perform in the Spa Grand Hall on September 12th.

Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe more widely known as Blue have sold 15 million records worldwide. In the UK they’ve had 3 number 1 albums, 10 top 10 singles (including 3 number 1’s), won Brit and MTV Asia Awards and sung with Elton John and Stevie Wonder.

They formed in London in the year 2000 and had their first hit All Rise in 2001. Their first appearance came on the Big Breakfast, where as an unknown band they were the ‘family of the week’ appearing on the show from Monday to Friday and then performed on live TV for the first time that Saturday on CDUK.

By the time the track entered the top 10 fans were flocking to see them and Blue fever started! Their debut album also called ‘All Rise’ spawned 4 top 10 singles, including the number 1’s ‘Too Close’ and ‘if you come back’ and the excellent ‘Flyby’. The album hit number 1, sold over a million copies and in under a year the band played their first fully live gig with a band at the MTV 5 night stand series of gigs in April 2002, the band having just won their first Brit Award for British Breakthrough act.

The boys followed up their successful debut with two more huge albums, One Love (Number 1 - 2002) featuring the number 1 lead track also called One Love and follow up singles U Make Me Wanna and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word with Elton John. The album was certified 4 x platinum in the UK.

Blue will be heading to Scarborough Spa on Thursday 12th September 2024 with tickets on sale from Wednesday 14th February at 10am.
