Just before he joins Oasis on their long-awaited reunion stadium tour, Richard Ashcroft will be performing at Newmarket Racecourses.

He'll perform as part of Newmarket Nights on 27th June next year.

As the frontman of rock band The Verve, Ashcroft carved a reputation as one of the most recognisable performers of the ‘90s.

The group’s breakthrough album “Urban Hymns” spawned hit singles “Lucky Man,” “The Drugs Don’t Work” and “Bitter Sweet Symphony”, selling over 10 million copies worldwide.

The record remains one of the best-selling albums in UK history.

Solo, the two-time Ivor Novello winner has released five Top 5 solo albums, including the #1 debut “Alone With Everybody”.

His most recent album, “Acoustic Hymns”, revisits his classics with stripped-back brilliance and reached #2 in the UK Album Chart.

Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and International Director, said: “Following a superb 2024 season, we knew our first announcement for 2025 had to be extra special.

"We’re so excited to welcome Richard Ashcroft to Newmarket Nights ahead of his massive summer on the road with Oasis.”

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 6th December.
