About Party in the Paddock Music Racedays 2026

Party in the Paddock is back for 2026!

There are two big music and racing weekends to look forward to during July and August, promising entertainment both on and off the track!

After welcoming more than 45,000 fans to its Party in the Paddock music raceday series in 2025, Newbury Racecourse is thrilled to announce its return in 2026 with two huge weekends of racing and live music in partnership with Bauer Media’s leading brands, including Hits Radio and Magic.

July will see Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes, performing live after racing on Apple Print & Creative Raceday on Friday 17 July, before Ronan Keating closes the weekend in style at Weatherbys Super Sprint Day on Saturday 18 July.

Then in August, chart‑topping superstar Tinie Tempah headlines on Friday 14 August, performing live after racing as part of the Visit Malta Hungerford Weekend. Famous for his explosive stage presence and era‑defining hits, Tinie promises a spectacular summer evening of energy, atmosphere and live music.

Jessie J returns to the Party in the Paddock stage on Saturday 15th August, bringing her iconic vocals and vibrant stage presence that promises to round out the summer season to an unforgettable close.

With world-class racing, unforgettable performances, and an electric summer atmosphere, this is a series you won’t want to miss.
