MULTI-chart topper Will Young will be headlining An Evening at the Races at Carlisle Racecourse this summer, it has been announced.

The singer will bring his huge collection of hits including ‘Light My Fire‘, ‘Jealousy’, and ‘Leave Right Now‘ for a night on the green on July 2.

Will Young's debut single ‘Evergreen/Anything Is Possible’ is included in the bestselling singles of all time in the UK, having sold over 1.7million copies alone. His sixth studio album ‘85% Proof’ arrived at the top of the charts in 2015 (making it his fourth No.1 album).

Will Young said: “I’m really looking forward to playing outside under the sunny skies at Carlisle Racecourse on July 2nd, I always have so much fun at the races.”

Geraldine McKay, General Manager at Carlisle Racecourse, said: “We're absolutely thrilled to be able to announce that Will Young will perform at our big live music fixture this summer.

“He brings a great back catalogue and freshness all of his own - and he's also covered some all-time great artists, like The Jacksons, Aretha Franklyn, The Bee Gees and Abba.”
