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.
The first acts for July have been revealed: Fans can look forward to Gipsy Kings, featuring Nicolas Reyes, taking to the famous Party in the Paddock stage live after racing on IRE Incentive Raceday on Friday 17 July, before Ronan Keating closes out the weekend in style as part of Weatherbys Super Sprint Day on Saturday 18 July.
With world-class racing, unforgettable performances, and an electric summer atmosphere, this is a series you won’t want to miss.
Keep your eyes peeled – headline acts for the Summer August Raceday on Friday 14 August and Visit Malta Hungerford Day on Saturday 15 August will be announced in January.
