Completing the 2022 summer line-up alongside previously announced Paloma Faith and Nile Rodgers & CHIC, The Jockey Club Live are delighted to welcome SIMPLY RED to Sandown Park Racecourse on Thursday 4^th August.

Simply Red are one of the best-selling British bands of all time. Led by songwriter and bandleader Mick Hucknall, they have over a billion hits on YouTube and have sold over 60 million albums worldwide - with five going to the number one spot in the UK. Their 1991 classic ‘Stars’ was the best-selling album for two years running in Britain and Europe, plus they continued this monumental success across the pond with two US Billboard chart toppers in classic singles ‘Holding Back The Years’ and ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now’. Their 2019 album ‘Blue Eyed Soul’ marked their 14^th top 10 studio album in the UK.

Phil White, Regional Director, London Region, Jockey Club Racecourses said

“We are delighted to welcome Simply Red back to Sandown Park, having last played at the racecourse in 2009. It’s a long overdue return and we can’t wait to spend a warm summer’s evening with the band.”

Mick Hucknall, Simply Red said

“I’ve spent most of my life going out and singing for people, and it has felt strange not to have that for such a long time. It’s wonderfully inspiriting that people can go and see bands again now, and we can’t wait to get back on stage.”

2021 saw a season of incredible live shows at The Jockey Club racecourses, ranging from a sold-out show for Tom Jones at Haydock Park to an afternoon of joyful singalongs with McFly at Newmarket Racecourses. Despite the challenges of staging a season in 2021, the events marked the return to live music for thousands of fans. The Jockey Club Live events continue to be renowned for combining an electric evening at the races with a spectacular evening concert in an informal and relaxed open-air setting.

Looking forward to a full-strength line-up in 2022, Simply Red join a line-up consisting of current chart-toppers and household names, with more announcements to come…
