Teddy Swims

GRAMMY nominated vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims will be joining us for two unmissable shows at TK Maxx presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd July 2026 with special guest Jordan Rakei.

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Teddy Swims has been putting in real work for years going from YouTube sensation to international chart-topper. A quiet, steady grind brought him to the forefront with record-breaking songs, sold-out global tours, and iconic performances. With a voice that effortlessly blends R&B, soul, and pop, Swims captivates listeners with raw emotion, soulful resonance, and lyrics that explore love, loss, and self-discovery.

2024 marked a record year, with multi-platinum hits Lose Control and The Door from his debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). Lose Control reached Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, became the longest-charting Hot 100 hit in history, and is now 6x Platinum with more than four billion streams. With more than 12 billion streams across his catalogue, Swims continues to cement his place as one of music’s most powerful voices.

Teddy Swims joins singer-songwriter David Gray among the first headline announcements for TK Maxx presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre 2026. Last year’s 18-gig summer series – headlined by the likes of Will Smith, Gary Barlow and Snow Patrol – attracted more than 100,000 music fans to the historic Yorkshire coast venue.
