Stephen Higgins, Managing Director of Racing & Events at Newbury Racecourse adds: “This exclusive performance to start our season of racing and music is a massive coup for Newbury, and follows some of the country’s leading acts who have played here over the last few years. This really is an event with it all: racing, Calvin Harris, and our after show party, the White Room trading into the early hours. The gig will be a night to be remembered with racing already renowned for its mix of style, fun and excitement for all, this is a must attend event.”
Party-goers can choose from a selection of ticket packages including The Exclusive Hampshire Stand & White Room Package, which gives eager racegoers excellent views of the racing and the stage.

The ‘Party in the Paddock’ event over the summer is in its sixth successful year and gaining huge popularity from music lovers across the UK, often doubling the number of spectators that would attend a raceday. The concerts are establishing Newbury Racecourse as a major venue for live music, conferences, business meetings and events, in a campaign to make racing more accessible and encourage a whole new group of racing enthusiasts.NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
