One of Liverpool’s most exciting breakthrough acts, Red Rum Club, will make their highly anticipated debut at the Red Rum Garden at Aintree Racecourse next spring.

Red Rum Club will headline a huge outdoor concert on Friday 16 May 2025, following a day of exhilarating racing at the iconic venue.

This show marks the band’s biggest hometown performance to date, capping off a monumental 2024.

The Crosby-born sextet’s fourth studio album, Western Approaches, soared into the top 10 of the UK album charts, achieving their highest chart position yet. They followed this success with a massive hometown gig at the M&S Bank Arena, drawing 9,000 fans, and a summer filled with appearances at the UK’s most prestigious festivals.

Red Rum Club’s music is intricately entwined with the sounds of Merseyside, pioneering what has been described as their “Mariachi Merseybeat”. Currently touring with contemporaries Blossoms and set to tour with The Jockey Club Live alumnus The Wombats in the new year, performing live is where the band feel most at home. 

Red Rum Club said:

“To say we’re excited to play Aintree Racecourse is an understatement. Outdoor summer shows are our favourites, and where better to play than in the Red Rum Garden? We’ve all been to the races at Aintree over the years and it’s a fantastic day out – we can’t wait to see you all there!”

After a trio of spectacular shows in the North West at Haydock Park Racecourse this year, which attracted over 25,000 music and racing fans to the hallowed ground, The Jockey Club Live are thrilled to announce the return of live music to Aintree Racecourse.

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

“Red Rum Club are the perfect headliner to welcome music back to Aintree Racecourse in 2025. Not only are they one of the most exciting homegrown acts in recent years, but to have them perform in the Red Rum Garden feels incredibly fitting!

“With tickets available from £30, which include an exhilarating evening of races, we’re proud to provide a value for money entertainment destination for Merseyside and beyond.”

The Jockey Club Live events are renowned for combining an electric evening at the races with a spectacular concert, in an informal and relaxed open-air setting.

Throughout 2024, the concert series welcomed some of the nation’s biggest music talents to historic racecourses across the country, with headliners including Busted, James Arthur and Becky Hill. In addition to world-class live music, the events provide a selection of culinary delights for all, ranging from street food to the racecourses’ array of exceptional restaurants.
