East 17 gig is a 'remarkable coup' for historic former Harrogate working men’s club
A former Harrogate working men’s club is to host a gig by one of the biggest boy bands of the 1990s and tickets have already sold out in record time.
Chart-topping boy band East 17 will perform live at Bilton Club in Harrogate later this year.
Best known for a lengthy string of hit singles during the 1990s collated in the The Very Best of East Seventeen greatest hits album released on the WEA International label in 2005, the superstar hit makers will headline a themed 90s night at the Harrogate venue on December 11, 2026.
Fans can expect to hear some of the group’s most famous tracks, including Stay Another Day, Each Time, If You Ever, It’s Alright and House of Love.
Founded in 1913 as the Bilton Working Men’s Club, this traditional venue changed its name in 2022 as it adapted to changing times by becoming a friendly members' social club offering live entertainment, great-value drinks, family events and a welcoming atmosphere.
The forthcoming East 17 show is an incredible coup for this popular community hub on Skipton Road.
“The 90s are taking over Bilton Club. We’re throwing a full-blown 90s party - and yes… East 17 are performing live,” the Bilton Club posted on social media:.
“Expect massive singalongs to Stay Another Day, It’s Alright, House of Love and more, plus DJ Trev spinning non-stop 90s bangers until 2am.”
The exciting appearance of East 17 featuring original member Terry Coldwell, is only part of an impressive pedigree of live events booked in recent years by the remarkable Bilton Club.
Last November saw a sold-out show by hit-making British indie band Reverend & The Makers.
The show saw charismatic frontman Jon McClure, the Reverend of legend, lead the five-piece band through tracks from their forthcoming new album, Is This How Happiness Feels.
Alongside the live performance of East 17 in December at The Bilton Club, meet and greet packages will be available for those wishing to meet members of the band.
Doors will open at 7.30pm, with the event expected to run until 2am.
