A CELEBRATION featuring two of the music industry’s biggest talents is heading to a race course near to you tomorrow.

Wincanton Racecourse in Somerset is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a concert tomorrow featuring pop sensation Jess Glynne, preceded by an 80s DJ set from BBC Radio 2 favourite Sara Cox.

Hotly tipped up-and-comers Kiko Bun and Mullally have been announced to support Jess at the July 1 concert, having been handpicked by the triple platinum album selling artist herself.

You can expect hits all the way from this concert - Jess Glynne’s debut album raced to number one in the charts and is 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. The likes of Hold My Hand and Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself will get the crowd singing along.

2016 was a further massive year for Jess, with a sold-out UK arena tour under her belt plus she was nominated for British Breakthrough Act, British Female Solo Artist and British Single for Hold My Hand at the Brit Awards.

Jess said: “It’s going to be great fun playing Wincanton Racecourse. I love outdoor shows and can’t wait to share some summer evenings with my fans.”

Sara will be spinning some of the best 80s hits to get you dancing prior to the main event.

Excitement has been building for the concert since its announcement – being the first music-only event at Wincanton Racecourse, it will see thousands of music fans descend for a fun-filled family day out, ending in a spectacular firework finale.

Sara has built an unparalleled radio career, having presented the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show for three years before graduating to BBC Radio 2, hosting the regular Sounds of the 80s show - delivering the very best hits from the era.

Having kept millions entertained on the airwaves with her love of music, she is also a recognisable TV personality having most recently presented The Great Pottery Throwdown.

Mullally’s music packs a soulful punch, his sing-along pop vocal arrangements painting vivid pictures in the minds of his listeners.

His first three releases (Overdose, Troubled Love and Wonderful) have amassed more than six million streams on Spotify alone and have been championed by tastemakers such as BBC Radio 1 MTV, SBTV and more.

A fixture on BBC 1Xtra and regular on the festival circuit, Kiko Bun has been heralded as the ‘sound of summer’ with his refreshing and contemporary sound based on the re-emergence of reggae, soul and golden era hip hop that continues to infiltrate mainstream music.

In addition to championing emerging talent in the form of Kiko Bun and Mullally, the racecourse is also proud to be supporting local suppliers, offering a selection of food to suit all budgets from local businesses. Mortimers, the local baker to the course, will be supplying freshly made sandwiches and finger food.

TIMINGS: Gates open at 3pm, Support Acts from 5.30pm, Jess Glynne live in concert from 9pm, firework display from 10.30pm.
