Newbury Racecourse Set For Huge Summer Of Music With Bauer Media’s Leading Brands

Newbury Racecourse is preparing for another huge summer of live music and racing, with both the ‘Summer Evening Series’ and the ‘Party in the Paddock’ music racedays once again benefitting from the support of Bauer Media, the UK’s No.1 Digital Commercial Audio broadcaster.

The extended partnership between the Berkshire track and the leading entertainment network builds on the existing collaboration, which first began in 2024 and expanded in 2025.

Bauer Media now returns to back the Racecourse’s exciting summer programme in 2026 by supporting the popular Summer Evening Series party racedays throughout July, while also resuming as title partner for the Party in the Paddock music raceday series – a highlight of Newbury’s summer calendar.

As part of this year’s partnership, Bauer Media’s leading brand Magic will support Weatherbys Super Sprint Day, featuring a live performance from Boyzone legend Ronan Keating after racing on Saturday 18 July.

Meanwhile, Hits Radio returns to support the Visit Malta Hungerford Weekend, which will see British rap icon Tinie Tempah entertain racegoers live after racing on Friday 14 August before the chart-topping Jessie J takes to the stage following the afternoon’s racing on Saturday 15 August.

Bauer Media commented: “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Newbury and support another huge summer of music at the Racecourse. Magic and Hits Radio are renowned for playing the biggest and best music and the Racecourse’s Party in the Paddock music raceday series has the same in store for fans this summer.”

Harry Walklin, Marketing Director at Newbury Racecourse, said: “Our Party in the Paddock music racedays are always a highlight and the confirmation that two of Bauer’s leading brands will support the summer-long series only builds excitement further. Thousands of music and racing fans have already saved on tickets courtesy of our early booking discounts and those who are keen to join us, Magic and Hits Radio at the Racecourse this July and August can continue to save until Friday 27th March.”

Ultra-discounted Super Early Bird tickets – priced from just £24 – are available for this summer’s Party in the Paddock music racedays until 11:59pm on Friday 27th March.
