Line up announced for Roman Day at Chester Racecourse

Excitement is building for Roman Day at Chester Racecourse in collaboration with Via Roma on Saturday, May 25th, as a dynamic lineup of musical acts adds to the immersive experience.

Teaming up with Deva Fest for this celebration of Chester’s heritage, Roman Day at Chester Racecourse promises a day filled with activities and family-friendly fun.

In addition to children’s entertainment like SuperPirates and AmaSing, the Roodee stage will come alive with live performances from bands such as The Odds, known for their renditions of modern classics, and Xander and the Peace Pirates, former house band at the iconic Cavern Club.

The event will also feature the Old Time Sailors, treating guests to an immersive sea shanty music experience, while festival vibes will be in full swing with performances from Stephen Lockhart.

The Odds will be playing Roman Day at Chester Racecourse.
