TICKETS for Kasabian's concert at The Spa Bridlington have been snapped up just hours after going on sale.
Dozens queued outside the venue desperate for tickets, while the majority of the 3,800 tickets were sold online.
The rock band, famous for hits such as Fire and Club Foot, are performing at the intimate venue just days before playing in front of tens of thousands at London's Olympic Park.
Andrew Aldis, general manager at The Spa said: "You just think of the size of the Olympic Park and compare it with how close fans will be to the band when they perform in Bridlington – it's brilliant.
"Getting these sorts of concerts is down to hard work and the excellent service we provide."
The Leicester group, who have performed and headlined festivals all over the world, are currently working on the follow-up to their fourth album, Velociraptor!, which was released in 2011.
They last played the venue in 2009.
Among those lucky to get tickets was Katie Valentine, 16, of Bridlington.
She said: "I was really surprised it hadn't sold out when I got to The Spa.
"I'm really looking forward to it and am happy they are coming to Bridlington. I've never seen them before.
"It's really good The Spa is getting some big bands. It brings money to the town and local businesses.
"It's a good venue and not huge."
Katie is taking her boyfriend Ryan Dockray, who plays guitar in Bridlington band Pandemonium.
"He listens to Kasabian quite a lot," she said.
"I called him to joke it had sold out before I had got tickets, but he didn't believe me."
The Kasabian concert is the third big announcement for The Spa in recent weeks.
Irish band The Script sold out the venue in less than two hours.
Mr Aldis also said tickets for X Factor winner Joe McElderry were selling well.
He said: "The Spa Bridlington is a brilliant venue that has been attracting the big acts to the area for decades.
"Attracting the big names isn't just a boost to The Spa, but also the local economy.
"Each sold out gig is bringing 3,800 additional people to the town who may come for the day, buy an ice cream, maybe have a meal and might spend some money boosting the night-time economy."
