Lemar, Alesha Dixon & Estelle confirmed for Newmarket Nights
A trio of top British acts have confirmed they will all be appearing on the Newmarket July Course stage on Friday 26th June. Lemar, Alesha Dixon and Estelle will be performing their hits and latest material in an event that promises to wow the crowds.
There aren’t many who can claim success on the scale of former BBC1 Fame Acadamy Graduate, Lemar. As well as awards, acclaim, platinum sales and sold-out tours, the North London singer/songwriter is one of a handful of artists able to balance incredible commercial success whilst maintaining credibility as one of the best ever UK vocalists.
Some of his top hits include: ‘If There’s Any Justice,’ ‘Dance With U,’ ‘50/50’ and ‘Time To Grow’ and to date, each of his albums – 2003’s Dedicated, 2004’s Time To Grow and 2006’s The Truth About Love - have sold in excess of 500,000 copies each.
Alesha Dixon, fresh from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day, joins the vibrant line up. The former Mis-teeq singer has launched a successful solo career and wowed the Nation with her performance on BBC 1’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’ Her bubbly personality allows her to swing across many music styles including 60’s, R&B, perfect pop as well as classic ballads. Her solo career has seen massive successes with top 10 hits ‘The Boy Does Nothing’ and ‘Breathe Slow.’
R & B sensation Estelle completes an amazing line up on Friday 26th June. Estelle has received huge success on both sides of the Atlantic. She won her first Grammy Award for her number 1 single, ‘American Boy’ featuring Kanye West and recently won ‘World’s Best New R&B Act’ at the Urban Music Awards. The critically acclaimed track ‘American Boy’ spent 5 weeks at number 1 and topped the airplay charts in the UK, France and Germany and reached platinum status in the US; with digital sales exceeding one million.
Managing Director of Newmarket Racecourse Stephen Wallis commented; “I am very excited we have Lemar, Alesha Dixon and Estelle on the same night. The event promises to be a night to remember and combines all the fun of the races with the exhilaration of an open air, live concert”.
