The Jockey Club Live have announced that Kylie has sold out the opening ‘An Evening at the Races’ night at Newmarket Racecourse in record time.
Fans of the pop superstar snapped up tens of thousands of tickets in a 30 minute window, bringing the total amount of tickets sold for this one event to over 22,000.
The Jockey Club Live, who have already announced a number of Kaiser Chiefs shows, will be revealing the remainder of their summer headline acts imminently.
These events combine an evening at the races with a concert in the open-air setting of some of the world’s most famous racecourses.
In addition to Haydock Park, Sandown Park and Newmarket, The Jockey Club Live will be hosting further ‘An Evening at the Races’ events across Market Rasen, Carlisle and Epsom Downs racecourses this summer.
Simon Halden, Director of Jockey Club Live said: “2015 has got off to the best possible start for us with the fantastic reaction to our forthcoming Kylie shows. To sell over 22,000 tickets so quickly demonstrates that there is a real appetite for this type of event. We have already announced our dates with the Kaiser Chiefs, which are going to be amazing, and will be revealing the rest of our line up for this summer very shortly.”Music Business Worldwide
