2017 Three Friday Nights Acts
Tinie Tempah, with seven UK number one singles to his name, is the most decorated rap artist in the country. His Platinum-selling album ‘Disc-Overy’ contains the massive singles ‘Pass Out’ and ‘Written in the Stars,’ which launched him to the very top of the British hip-hop tree and his second album, ‘Demonstration,’ has kept him there. But the Brit, MOBO and Novello award-winning artist is no stranger to the turntables and alongside his tour DJ, Charlesy, has spun the decks at top London clubs and taken up residencies in Ibiza. Together, they are certain to bring new and exciting sounds to the Racecourse.
Few people can claim to have had as much influence on dance music as Pete Tong, who has spent more than two decades shaping the tastes of the electronic generation. The definitive voice of dance music, Tong’s national radio shows and anthemic compilations are the go-to soundtracks for the UK’s house, techno and jungle fans. But his reach extends far beyond just the British Isles; his American radio show is broadcast on over 90 stations and he is considered a global ambassador of dance music. The Goodwood crowd will be treated to a masterclass in mixing, featuring some of the greatest dance tracks ever made.
Sigma, best known for their number one singles ‘Nobody to Love’ and ‘Changing,’ as well as recent hit ‘Find Me,’ have quickly risen to their position as one of the leading dance pop acts in the world. With over 4million singles sold and YouTube views of over 308million and counting, the duo from Greater London have also sold out live shows in the USA and Australia, as well as playing Glastonbury and Reading Festival. Racegoers should expect a night of dynamic musicality, cutting edge production and a spectacle of light and sound with one of the most beautiful Racecourses in the world as a backdrop.
Each of the Three Friday Nights fixtures will feature a six-race card of quality horseracing in the evening, before the sun goes down and lasers light up the dance floor in the Parade Ring. Now in its seventh year, Goodwood’s Three Friday Nights have been enjoyed by thousands, who have flocked to see the likes of Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Trevor Nelson and Rudimental in the intimacy of this unique setting.
Adult tickets start from £35, with junior (13-17 years old) tickets from £26.25. Gates for all three fixtures open at 4.30pm and the music performance runs from 9.30pm to 11pm. For tickets, hospitality and more information, please visit Goodwood.com or call 01243 755055.
