One of the most successful British pop groups of all time, S Club, are set to play York, it was revealed exclusively on YorkMix Radio today (Thursday).
The chart-topping superstars will play York Racecourse on Saturday 27 July, as part of the popular Music Showcase Weekend.
James Brennan, head of marketing and sponsorship at the racecourse, announced the headline booking on the Breakfast Club with Laura and Leigh shortly after 8am.
“This feels like the perfect booking for a fun-filled summer event. They are a band who deliver good times,” said James.
The Brit award winners had four UK number-one singles and four multi-platinum selling albums.
In York they will be performing instantly recognisable hits, including ‘Don’t Stop Movin’’, ‘Never Had a Dream Come True’, and ‘Bring It All Back’.
The York Racecourse performance follows a sold-out UK and Ireland arena tour in late 2023 and will allow fans to celebrate their legacy as beloved pop icon and to pay tribute to the late band member, Paul Cattermole.
On the racecourse itself, the Group 2 Sky Bet York Stakes will be the centerpiece of a seven-race card.
Won last July by Alflaila, trained in Newmarket for Godolphin, this Group contest is likely to attract high-quality contenders. A full field is likely to enter the prime betting heat of the afternoon, the valuable Sky Bet Dash, a six-furlong handicap.
It looks set to be a fun-filled 24 hours for racing and music fans as the previous evening the combination of top-class racing and live music will have begun.
The musical entertainment for Friday evening is the ever popular Kaiser Chiefs, while the racing action will include the European Breeders’ Fund lyric Stakes, a Listed contest that attracts a field from the top stables.
To book visit the York Racecourse website. Admission to the main grandstand and paddock enclosure, starts at £38 per person for a group of six.
There is free car parking, and no booking fees.
