McFly announce Market Rasen concert

Tickets go on sale this week
Pop band McFly were supposed to play at the Lincolnshire Showground, but the promotions firm has since gone under.

Pop band McFly will take to the stage at Market Rasen Racecourse next summer, and tickets go on sale this week!

As part of the Jockey Club Live’s 2020 summer season of events, McFly will perform after racing on Saturday, August 15.

With seven UK number-one singles, five top-ten albums, six sell-out tours and ten million records sold worldwide, McFly are one of the most significant British pop acts of the twenty-first 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, Danny, Dougie and Harry have become one of our best-loved bands, not to mention major stars in their own right.

Tom has become a wildly bestselling children’s author; Danny a TV mainstay with his regular appearances as a judge on The Voice Kids; Dougie has combined his burgeoning acting career with a passionate role as an environmental campaigner; and Strictly winner Harry has wowed West End audiences, starring in the hit dance show Rip it Up.

Having taken a break after touring as the pop phenomenon that was McBusted — the band return with a spectaular live show playing their best-loved mega-hits such as All About You, Obviously, Star Girl, One for the Radio and Shine a Light.

Nadia Powell, General Manager, Market Rasen Racecourse, said: “McFly are a hugely popular band with a big following and their appearance at the racecourse is sure to be thrilling.

“They proved to be a big hit on the first occasion they performed at the racecourse in 2013 and next year’s concert promises to be another memorable Market Rasen Racecourse event as the band follows in the footsteps of appearances in recent times by the likes of Tom Jones, Madness and Olly Murs. Jockey Club Live music and racing events attract enormous crowds and with McFly appealing to all age groups, especially families, I am sure their fans will come from far and wide to enjoy a day at the races and the concert afterwards.”

Tickets will be on sale at 8am on Friday, December 6 via the website here, with a presale available to customers at 8am on Wednesday, December 4.

Tickets are priced starting at £39.20 for adults and £22.40 for children (inclusive of transaction fees). Please note child tickets are limited and for ages under 16. All T&C’s are available on marketrasen.thejockeyclub.co.uk. There will be hospitality packages available.
