Goodwood Racecourse has unveiled a sensational line-up of DJs for its Three Friday Nights with performances from Sub Focus (5 June), Riordan (12 June) and DJ Luck & MC Neat (19 June).
Making the most of the long summer evenings, Goodwood’s Parade Ring will transform into the ultimate dancefloor, putting racegoers centre stage as they enjoy spectacular sundown sets.

Sub Focus – Friday 5 June
Sub Focus will kickstart proceedings on 5 June with a festival-ready tracklist. With more than 20 years at the forefront of the drum and bass scene, DJ, producer and songwriter, Nick Douwma (Sub Focus), is one of the genre’s defining figures. Sub Focus’ high-energy sets blend his underground jungle roots and love for all dance music.
From his chart-topping hit X-Ray/Scarecrow to his award-winning album Evolve, Sub Focus is set to deliver an unforgettable performance that will keep the crowd dancing all night.
Riordan – Friday 12 June
The second Three Friday Night on 12 June, marks a special homecoming for rising international DJ Riordan. Born and raised on the South Coast, Riordan began his career during lockdown, capturing his performances on the Trundle overlooking Goodwood Racecourse.
With releases on major labels including Gorgon City’s Realm, a successful debut US tour, multiple Ibiza appearances and a sold‑out headline show at London’s Village Underground, Riordan has cemented his status as a rising star in global electronic music.
Riordan said: “If you had asked 17-year-old me when I was climbing up the Trundle to record videos DJing on an ironing board what the dream was, I know that he would’ve told you it was to come home and headline Goodwood. We’ve finally made that happen, my hometown show.

“The first DJ set I ever saw was at Goodwood Racecourse - it was Gorgon City who are now some of my closest friends in the music scene. One year, I even worked in a burger van at Three Friday Nights, so to now perform in front of thousands in the Parade Ring, the amount of history and nostalgia this place gives me is hard to describe.”
DJ Luck & MC Neat – Friday 19 June
DJ Luck & MC Neat will bring Three Friday Nights to a close on 19 June with another high‑energy set. Formed in 1997, the duo shot to fame with their 1999 Top 10 hit A Little Bit of Luck, quickly becoming a household name.
In addition to multiple charting singles, the pair have earned a MOBO Award, achieved gold‑selling status and performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Party in the Park and V Festival alongside Olly Murs.
