Absolute Radio & Hits Radio Come On Board For Newbury Racecourse’s Biggest Ever Summer Of Music

Newbury Racecourse is gearing up for its biggest ever summer of music and the Racecourse’s bumper ‘Party in the Paddock’ schedule has been boosted by a new partnership with Absolute Radio and Hits Radio.

The link-up grows the Racecourse’s existing relationship with Bauer Media with the UK’s No.1 Digital Commercial Audio broadcaster already supporting Newbury’s popular Summer Evening Series party racedays in July.

The partnership between the Berkshire track and the entertainment network will break new ground in 2025 with Absolute Radio and Hits Radio becoming the first title partner of the Racecourse’s famed ‘Party in the Paddock’ raceday series with four big music racedays in the calendar between July and September.

Weatherbys Super Sprint Day is first up on Saturday 19th July with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ella Henderson performing live after racing before Visit Malta Hungerford Day arrives on Saturday 16th August with Clean Bandit taking to the stage after the afternoon’s racing. BRIT award winner James Bay then rounds out the ‘Party in the Paddock’ series as part of Dubai Duty Free International Weekend on Saturday 20th September.

What’s more, the three big Saturday racedays are complemented by the Racecourse’s first ever Friday music raceday on 16th August when Bjorn Again thrill racegoers live after racing.

Bauer Media commented: “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Newbury Racecourse and support their biggest ever summer of live music. Absolute Radio and Hits Radio are renowned for playing the biggest and best music and the Racecourse’s Party in the Paddock series has the same in store for fans this summer.’’

The news of Bauer Media’s increased support comes with Newbury’s summer-long music party less than six weeks away and fans have wasted no time in securing their place with more than £250,000 already saved on tickets and passes courtesy of the Racecourse’s early booking discounts.

Harry Walklin, Marketing Director at Newbury Racecourse, said: ‘’Our Party in the Paddock racedays are the highlight of our summer schedule and welcoming two of Bauer’s leading brands to the series as title partners only builds anticipation. Thousands of fans have already unlocked savings for our biggest ever summer of music by booking early and discounts remain for those who are keen to join us, Absolute Radio and Hits Radio this summer.’’
