Make sure you’re ‘Right Here’ on Friday June 16 2017 as The Jockey Club Live and Aintree Racecourse are delighted to welcome back to the North West one of the UK’s hottest chart stars, Jess Glynne.

First coming into the public consciousness as the vocalist on Clean Bandit’s Grammy Award-winning and #1 hit ‘Rather Be’, pop sensation Jess Glynne has since become one of the biggest UK breakthrough acts of recent years. Her number-one charting debut album, ‘I Cry When I Laugh‘, has turned double-platinum in the UK, making it the highest-selling debut album of the past year. Jess is also one of only two British female solo artists to have five consecutive UK number one singles. 2016 was a further massive year for Jess, with a sold-out UK arena tour under her belt, plus she was nominated for British Breakthrough Act, British Female Solo Artist and British Single for ‘Hold My Hand’ at this year’s prestigious Brit Awards.

Jess Glynne commented: "It’s going to be great fun playing Aintree Racecourse on June 16 after the races. I love outdoor shows and can’t wait to share some summer evenings with my fans!"

Open-air concerts at Aintree Racecourse offer a value for money experience unlike any other this summer. Alongside show-stopping headlining performances by some of the worlds biggest artists, the action kicks off earlier in the day with a six-race card, giving fans the chance to witness powerful equine athletes who are stars in their own right, and enjoy the thrilling drama and spectacle of them racing for glory.
