During to the ongoing situation with regards to COVID 19 we have been working away behind the scenes to continue to deliver our Live After Racing schedule of events for Summer 2021.

In response to the Government’s recent release of their road map and as large scale events are not permitted until after the 21st of June, Shed Seven after racing event at Doncaster Racecourse scheduled for Saturday 15th May can no longer take place.

We are however delighted to announce that this event will now be rescheduled to Saturday 14th May 2022.

Rescheduled to Saturday 25th June 2022

New live act to be announced in due course to perform at this year’s Newcastle Racecourse’s Northumberland Plate Day, which continues to go ahead on Saturday 26th June 2021

In response to the Government’s recent release of their road map we have been working away behind the scenes to continue to deliver our Live After Racing schedule of events. Unfortunately, despite the planned reopening of large-scale events from 21st June, Pete Tong and The Heritage Orchestra’s Ibiza Classics Live After Racing performance at Newcastle Racecourse during the Saturday of the famous Northumberland Plate Festival will be rescheduled to Saturday 25th June 2022. Newcastle Racecourse’s Northumberland Plate Festival continues to go ahead as scheduled in 2021 with crowds and we are working hard with our Live After Racing team towards announcing the new live line up for the event.

Pete Tong and The Heritage Orchestra’s Ibiza Classics’ ground-breaking event includes a very large production involving a 65-piece orchestra, taking weeks of rehearsals to perfect the flawless show. Due to the scale of the concert, the safety of the crew and musicians is paramount and therefore the logistics involved with rehearsing this type of concert, with COVID-19 restrictions, prior to 21st June is not possible. Pete Tong & The Heritage Orchestra are therefore rescheduling all of their June dates, which unfortunately affects the Newcastle show.

Mark Spincer, Managing Director, ARC Racing Division comments:

‘We’re sorry to announce that due to the current public health situation, Pete Tong & The Heritage Orchestra’s live After racing performance at Newcastle Racecourse is being postponed and rescheduled for Saturday 25th June 2022. Whilst we understand that fans will be disappointed that this show will not be taking place after this year’s Northumberland Plate Day, we are certain it will be worth the wait. We can’t wait to welcome this spectacular performance of amazing musicianship, epic production and stunning visual effects to Newcastle Racecourse for what is sure to be a breathtaking event.

“In the meantime, we are confident that we’ll be able to secure another great live music act to keep our customers entertained after racing on Saturday 26thJune 2021, which continues to go ahead this year”.

Pete Tong said:

‘Myself and Jules Buckley are so excited to be bringing the orchestra and Ibiza Classics to Newcastle Racecourse in 2022. The past year has been so unpredictable, but we continue….and I guarantee this will be a night to remember, dust off your raving shoes!”

Pete Tong & the Heritage Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley, will bring a brand new Ibiza Classics show to Newcastle Racecourse – Saturday 26th June 2021.

Tickets will go on sale from 9am Friday 20th November.

The hottest ticket of the summer returns to the North East, after previous sell-out tours and outdoor gigs – with a brand new show for 2021 with re-workings of more iconic dance anthems.

The show is a must see for ravers, party animals and everyone who ever saw Ibiza as their Mecca, an irresistible combination of the UK’s most influential DJ with a 65 piece orchestra, a spectacular visual show with lasers and the biggest party anthems.

The concept first came to fruition after a lot of hard work and careful curation at the massively successful BBC Proms show at the Royal Albert Hall three years ago. Pete’s collaboration with the Heritage Orchestra conducted by Jules Buckley went on to play arenas around the world, including the Hollywood Bowl and two sold out nights at the O2, and spawning the album Classic House, which sold over 200,000 copies and reached number one in the UK, and the follow-up, Pete Tong Ibiza Classics, which has so far amassed over 120,000 sales.

Pete Tong has been a massively influential figure in dance music over the past 20 years, predominantly as the voice of Radio 1’s prestigious dance programming. The Essential Mix continues to be the standard bearer of mix shows, and his Essential Selection is still the influential place to premiere new records. All Gone Pete Tong is a residency brand and cult classic film, as well, of course, as being widely used in rhyming slang.

The Kaiser Chiefs are on track for a show unlike any they’ve played before… On 26th June, the Kaiser’s bring their hit packed show to Doncaster Racecourse! Proving that you don’t have to be a Queen fan to enjoy “a day at the races” and great music simultaneously, this unique show invites audiences to enjoy a day of racing at one of the UK’s most prestigious arenas with the added bonus of a full Kaiser Chiefs set late into the evening.
