New singing star's racing night gig

POP sensation Jess Glynne will be performing at Haydock Park Racecourse this summer.

The Jockey Club Live presents An Evening at the Races are delighted to welcome Rather Be chart-topper on July 1.

Glynne has been 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.

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.

She said: “It’s going to be great fun playing Haydock Park Racecourse 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.

The Corrs were recently announced to be playing on Saturday June 18 and another well-known act is expected to be revealed shortly.
