Following the announcement of Ministry of Sound Classical earlier this month, Newmarket Nights is thrilled to be welcoming another dance music icon next Summer. FAITHLESS will perform a full headline live set after racing on Friday 8^th August.

It’s been almost three decades since their debut album ‘Reverence’ was released, and in that time the legendary UK act has made an unparalleled impact on the dance music landscape. One of the most influential electronic artists of the 21st century, they’ve sold over 20 million albums including seventeen Top 40 singles, including the juggernaut ‘Insomnia’, six Top 10 albums (three at #1) and amassed over a billion combined streams to date.

The band’s cultural significance is unparalleled – leading the charge of dance acts cutting through on a global level and demonstrating electronic music deserves its place on the main stages. Throughout their incredible career, Faithless have continued to prove it’s possible to achieve critical and commercial success while delivering boundary pushing dance music immersed in feeling and integrity.

Earlier this year, and eight years on since their final live performance, Faithless returned to the global stage with a triumphant headline set at Glastonbury. With a 7-piece band, they have entered an exciting new era to continue their reign at the forefront of dance music.

Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and International Director, said

“Dance music is an integral part of Newmarket Nights, and we always look forward to hosting the biggest names of the genre each year. We’re elated that Faithless will be making their live debut at the racecourse this Summer.”

Faithless said

“2024 has been a landmark year for the group, returning to live performances after an eight-year break. We had the best time at festivals this Summer and can’t wait to party the night away with you all at Newmarket Nights on Friday 8^thAugust!”
