Red Rum Club To Headline Aintree Racecourse In 2025
Liverpool’s rising stars, Red Rum Club, are set to make an unforgettable appearance in their hometown next year, headlining an outdoor concert at Aintree Racecourse on Friday, May 16, 2025.
Presented by The Jockey Club Live, the band’s performance in the iconic Red Rum Garden will follow an evening of exhilarating races, bringing together live music and the spirit of Merseyside in one dynamic event.
The Crosby-born sextet has been riding a wave of success in 2024. With their fourth studio album, Western Approaches, breaking into the UK’s top 10, and a triumphant performance at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, this past year has cemented their place as one of the region’s most exciting musical forces. Their unique sound, affectionately coined “Mariachi Merseybeat,” is resonating across the UK, with festival crowds drawn to their distinct fusion of Liverpool’s musical heritage and Latin-inspired rhythms.
Reflecting on the upcoming performance, Red Rum Club shared their excitement: “To say we’re excited to play Aintree Racecourse is an understatement. Outdoor summer shows are our favourites, and where better to play than in the Red Rum Garden? We’ve all been to the races at Aintree over the years and it’s a fantastic day out – we can’t wait to see you all there!”
2025 is shaping up to be another landmark year, as Red Rum Club is set to tour alongside Blossoms and The Wombats, two acts who have also headlined The Jockey Club Live. Fans of the group can look forward to an evening that combines the thrill of live horse racing with the energy of a Red Rum Club concert in the heart of Liverpool.
Dickon White, Regional Director of Jockey Club Racecourses, North West, expressed his enthusiasm for the band’s upcoming performance, “Red Rum Club are the perfect headliner to welcome music back to Aintree Racecourse in 2025. Not only are they one of the most exciting homegrown acts in recent years, but to have them perform in the Red Rum Garden feels incredibly fitting!”
The Jockey Club Live’s events have become celebrated for their unique blend of live music and racecourse atmosphere, offering a relaxed open-air experience for music lovers and racing enthusiasts alike. Throughout 2024, the concert series saw headliners like Busted, James Arthur, and Becky Hill entertain crowds across historic racecourses nationwide. These events go beyond music, featuring street food options, excellent dining experiences, and a sense of camaraderie that is a hallmark of The Jockey Club Live series.
Tickets for Red Rum Club’s Aintree show are on sale now. Tickets start at £35 for general sale, with various hospitality packages also available.
Be sure to stay tuned for more concert announcements, as The Jockey Club Live will continue hosting after-racing concerts at racecourses across the UK, including Sandown Park, Market Rasen, Carlisle, Newmarket, and Haydock Park throughout 2025.
