Pete Tong to perform at this year’s Grand National

Aintree Racecourse reveals today that there will be an extra treat for racegoers on Grand National Day (Saturday 11th April) at the Randox Grand National Festival with Pete Tong set to take to the stage after racing in the Red Rum Garden.

The world-famous DJ has a career stretching back over four decades as a broadcaster, clubland DJ and music industry tastemaker, with his emphasis always firmly focused on people having fun.

He has graced the decks of the best clubs and festivals worldwide. As a producer he has assembled the music for movie soundtracks such as The Beach, Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People and has produced his own material under various guises. And as an icon, he was the inspiration behind the film “It’s All Gone Pete Tong”.

Dickon White, The Jockey Club’s North West Regional Director who runs Aintree Racecourse, said:

“It is fantastic news that we have such an iconic DJ as Pete Tong playing after racing in the Red Rum Garden on Grand National Day.

“The Randox Grand National Festival always has a tremendous atmosphere and is very much about people having fun, so this is pretty much the perfect partnership.

“We also look forward to welcoming Pete to nearby Haydock Park later in 2026 for Ibiza Classics on Friday 7th August, which looks set to be one of the highlights of our summer season.”

Tickets for Grand National Day are close to selling out, with some limited availability on the Embankment, which offers magnificent views of the world famous Grand National fences.

Ladies Day (Friday 10th April) at the Randox Grand National Festival has now sold out while there is still availability for Opening Day (Thursday 9th April).
