How does Olly Murs Live After Racing work at Newmarket?

For Friday 25 June 2027 Newmarket lists gates at 3.45pm, the first race at 5.43pm, the last at 8.38pm and the concert at about 9pm to 10.30pm, all subject to change. Newmarket Nights pair a race meeting with a headline concert. Six or seven races are run on the July Course, then the gates between enclosures open in stages and most people move to the stage. Newmarket says its headline artists usually come on about 15 minutes after the last race and play for 75 to 90 minutes, with no warm-up act.

Where is the stage on the July Course?

The stage sits in the Premier Enclosure between Stands 2 and 3, facing the track. Premier Enclosure ticket holders have first access to the stage area; after racing the other enclosures open and their guests can move closer. The area in front of the stage is standing only and the busiest part of the course, with large screens elsewhere for a calmer view.

Which enclosure should you choose for Olly Murs at Newmarket?

The racecourse lists four areas for the night:

• Premier Enclosure: the best racing view, with the finishing post, the Parade Ring and the stage itself
• Grandstand and Paddock: a fair view of the racing and food stands, with Premier facilities opening after the last race
• Garden Enclosure: the picnic area, between the one and two furlong poles, with racing mostly on a big screen; usually first to sell out
• Champions Lawn: an upgrade on the edge of the Premier Enclosure with table service, private toilets and Tote betting, but a limited view of the stage

For the closest raised view, Newmarket sells a Prime Viewing Platform about 40 metres directly opposite the stage, opening after the last race.
