JLS HEADLINE HAYDOCK PARK MUSIC NIGHT
Sat 12th Jun 10 - 9:15

FOLLOWING their double triumph at The Brits, British boy band and chart toppers JLS are the headline act for Haydock Park Racecourse's music night in June.

Runners-up in the X Factor in 2008, their first two singles have gone to the top of the radio airplay charts, and the group have just released their debut album which sold half a million copies in three weeks.

The most successful new group of the year, they embarked on a UK tour to sell-out audiences in December 2009.

And their February 2010 UK tour sold out within 24 hours with extra dates being added due to popular demand for both London and Manchester.

Dickon White, Haydock Park Racecourse's managing director, said: "This is a major coup for the racecourse.  JLS will be a big hit with us.

"They are now so well known after their popularity on the X Factor, and are perfect for our Saturday music night in June."

Formed just two years ago, for most of the British public, Oritsé, JB, Aston and Marvin are the most successful group of all time to enter the X Factor.

JLS – short for Jack the Lad Swing, a composite of their cheeky onstage persona – will play at the second music night of 2010 at Haydock Park on Saturday 19 June.

Tickets, which include the evening's horse racing too, are now SOLD OUT for this event.

Haydock Park's popular music nights during the Flat racing season in the spring and summer are increasingly pulling in the big name bands and artists.

The racecourse has already announced that Simply Red are returning in 2010.  It follows on from the band's groundbreaking performance in August 1999.  They play live again on Saturday 17 July in 2010 and for the last remaining tickets, book online or call our ticket hotline on 0844 579 3006.
