This is an outdoor concert. To get closest to the stage, visitors will
need to have either a County Stand or Grandstand & Paddock
admission. The position of the stage for 2020 is as recent years, at the
southern end of Bustardthorpe Lawn on the main grandstand
side. It is at about the one furlong mark, some 20 metres from the
track facing parallel to the direction of running. The elevation of
Knavesmire Stand steppings offers a view over the stage and the angle
permits viewing of races and stage from the County
Stand Lawn. We will make good use of the giant screens for both racing
and concert viewing. Please note in order to get closest to the stage
racegoers will need to book entry to County Stand or Grandstand &
Paddock; thereafter there are no reserved positions.
Please note the price of admission reflects the wider facilities
provided for the duration of the raceday and does not reflect a reserved
position nor preferential view of the stage.
