ALANIS Morissette is the 28th and final headliner to be announced for Scarborough Open Air Theatre’s 2026 summer season.
The seven-time Grammy Award winner will play on the Yorkshire coast on Sunday, July 5 on the last night of the Canadian-American alt-rock singer-songwriter’s seven-date UK tour.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday, February 27 at scarboroughopenairtheatre.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.
After signing up Morissette to complete Scarborough OAT’s biggest ever concert season, Julian Murray, of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said: “We are absolutely delighted to reveal Alanis Morissette as our 28th and final headliner for 2026. What a massive name to add to the bill for our already record-breaking summer here in Scarborough.
“Alanis is a cultural phenomenon. Her shows are huge and we now get to welcome her to the Yorkshire coast. This will be an incredible night in what will be a sensational summer here at Scarborough OAT.”
Her Grammy-garlanded 1995 debut album Jagged Little Pill has been followed by nine albums, and her hits Ironic, You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket and Thank U remain as current as ever today.
In 2019, Jagged Little Pill The Musical made its Broadway debut and was nominated for 15 Tony Awards, winning two at the 2021 ceremony.
In 2021, Morissette’s sold-out world tour was the number one female-fronted tour of the year. Her 2024 North American Triple Moon Tour sold more than half a million tickets and packed every venue to capacity, followed by her sold-out 2025 UK tour and first ever Pyramid Stage set at Glastonbury.
