UK pop band McFly will perform a headline concert at Newmarket Racecourse on Friday August 11 as part of The Jockey Club Live's summer event series.

With seven UK number-one singles, six top-ten albums, seven arena tours and ten million records sold worldwide, McFly are without question one of the most significant British pop acts of the 21st century.

Since hitting the big time as the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to number one — beating The Beatles’ long-standing record — Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd have become one of our best-loved bands, not to mention major stars in their own right.

Expect to hear favourites ‘All About You’, ‘Star Girl’ and ‘Obviously’ alongside future-classics ‘Happiness’ and ‘Tonight Is The Night’. 

With new music expected shortly, 2023 is set to be another landmark year in the McFly legacy. 

McFly said: “Newmarket! We’ve been honoured to have performed for you a few times, but never an evening show.

“We’ve heard incredible things and we’re ready to show you what we’ve got to make it truly a night to remember!”

McFly are the latest act to be announced for The Jockey Club Live's 2023 line-up, with Olly Murs and Craig David, Haçienda Classical and Bastille also set to perform over the summer.

Sophie Able, general manager of Newmarket Racecourses, said: “Our series of Newmarket Nights are highlight in the summer calendar for the whole region and we’re delighted to have announced an array of phenomenal British talent so far.

“McFly are a fantastic addition to what will be an unmissable season on The July Course and we can’t wait for people to join us.”

Tickets for McFly at Newmarket Racecourses will be on sale at 10am on Friday March 24 via thejockeyclublive.co.uk, with a presale available to customers at 10am on Wednesday March 22.
