Rick Astley to play Haydock Racecourse This Weekend

If you think you know Lancashire’s Rick Astley, think again. The much-loved multi-million selling 80s icon returned to capture the heart of a nation with his #1 platinum selling album “50” in 2016 and this year returned with his stellar album “Beautiful Life” in the Top 10.  Back in 1987 his solo debut “Never Gonna Give You Up” was a global smash, Number 1 in 25 countries. Over the next 5 years Rick had 13 international hit singles. He became a viral sensation in the noughties and most recently he has been back in the studio creating new, touchingly intimate ballads, upbeat dance beats, hook-laden pop songs and soul stormers – packing in the cheeky lyrical references and the signature sing-along style that are instantly recognisable.

Regional Director for Jockey Club Racecourses North West, Dickon White said:

“We are very excited to welcome back Rick Astley to Haydock Park. Having wowed the crowds previously, we are delighted to see him here again.  

“Combining both racing and world class music, the evening will certainly stand out in the 2019 calendar”
