Newmarket Racecourses is pleased to announce BALL & BOE, the nation’s most beloved musical duo comprised of Michael Ball and Alfie Boe. The chart-topping, arena-filling, multi-million-selling pair will take to the stage on Friday 15th August, for the last of the evening Newmarket Nights Series.

At the end of last year Ball & Boe released their sixth studio album, Together At Home, their hymn to the people and places that mean the most to them – and to their army of fans. It followed the phenomenal success of the duo’s previous five duet albums by rocketing to the top of the UK charts and becoming their fourth No.1 album.

After decorated careers in theatre and opera, Michael and Alfie are now also chart superstars. As a duo, they have sold over 1.5 million albums in the UK, received two Classic Brit Awards, sold-out three headline arena tours and presented three ITV Specials.

To mark their 10th year making music together, the duo is currently on a 12-date marathon arena tour bringing the Together At Home album to life. The tour will continue with Newmarket Nights in August; expect to hear your favourite tracks from their phenomenal careers, plus an array of tracks from their chart-topping albums such as recent single ‘Proud’ – the timeless 2000 debut solo track from former M People singer Heather Small.

Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and International Director, said

“With their undeniable charisma and extraordinary vocals, Ball & Boe are sure to captivate the Newmarket audience – we can’t wait to welcome them this August! This summer’s lineup has truly an artist for every musical taste and generation. We encourage fans to secure their tickets now to avoid missing out!”

Ball & Boe said

“Performing live is what we live and breathe, whether that’s in the West End, or a glorious Summer’s Day at Newmarket! We start our arena tour this weekend so to have Newmarket Nights to look forward to in August is very exciting. We can’t wait to head back out on the road together and to see you all very soon.”
