The Jockey Club Live Presents An Evening At The Races With The Corrs, Lisa Stansfield And Jess Glynne
| 21st June 2016
AN OPEN AIR CONCERT AT HAYDOCK PARK RACECOURSE
The Corrs; 18TH JUNE 2016
Returning with a bang for 2016, The Jockey Club Live presents An Evening at the Races will welcome The Co
rrs as the first act added to their summer season of open-air live concerts at Haydock Park Racecourse. Last year, over 40,000 fans descended onto the hallowed turf to see show-stopping headlining performances from Kylie, Madness and Kaiser Chiefs after a day of racing.
Since releasing their album ‘Forgiven, Not Forgotten’ in 1996, The Corrs have gone on to sell over 30 million albums worldwide. Known for it’s including ‘Runaway’ and ‘Breathless’, the band took a 10-year break to spend time with their families while Sharon and Andrea also pursued solo careers. They returned last year to a rapturous welcome, with their album ‘White Light’ going straight into the UK charts at #11 and saw the band catapulted back into the touring circuit with a sold-out arena tour.
The Corrs said:
‘We love open-air summer shows, so are really looking forward to playing Haydock Park on 18th June after the races. We had a fantastic time playing songs from our new album ‘White Light’ at the Echo Arena at the start of the year so can’t wait to perform all our hits for a few familiar faces and more this summer.’
Jason Fildes, Haydock Park General Manager, said:
‘We’re delighted to announce The Corrs to kick off a thrilling summer of music at Haydock Park – they are a superb globally renowned band who I’m sure will create an electric atmosphere after a top class day of racing. Last year was our most successful year of music at Haydock Park which included a sell-out performance by KYLIE – I’m sure this year will be even better, starting with The Corrs on Saturday 18th June; we look forward to announcing other exciting acts shortly.’

Jess Glynne; 1ST JULY 2016
Joining already announced The Corrs to their summer season of live concerts, The Jockey Club Live presents An Evening at the Races are delighted to welcome Jess Glynne to Haydock Park Racecourse on 1st July.
First coming into the public consciousness as the vocalist on Clean Bandit’s Grammy Award winning and #1 hit ‘Rather Be’; pop sensation Jess Glynne has since become one of the biggest UK breakthrough acts of recent years. Her number-one charting debut album, ‘I Cry When I Laugh‘, has now turned double platinum in the UK, making it the highest selling debut album of the past year. She also became the second British female solo artist after Cheryl to have five number-one singles in the UK. With no signs of slowing down, 2016 is set to be a further massive year for Jess – later this month she’ll be performing as the prestigious Brit Awards and has been nominated for British Breakthrough Act, British Female Solo Artist and British Single for ‘Hold My Hand’.
Jess Glynne said:
‘It’s going to be great fun playing Haydock Park Racecourse on 1st July after the races. I love outdoor shows and can’t wait to share some summer evenings with my fans!’
Jess Glynne will also be donating a portion of her fee to an equine charity, of which The Jockey Club Live will match. Details to follow at a later date.
Jason Fildes, Haydock Park General Manager, said:
‘We’re thrilled to announce another superb music act in Jess Glynne for our exciting summer of music at Haydock Park. Jess is one of the biggest UK breakthrough acts over the past few years and has a double platinum album so I’m sure she’ll give the Haydock crowd an electrifying performance after an evening of excellent racing on the track. With The Corrs recently announced to be playing on Saturday 18th June and another exciting act to be revealed shortly, we’re all relishing another excellent music portfolio at Haydock Park this year!’
