X-Factor runners up JLS will be entertaining racegoers at Epsom this summer.
The boy band has been signed up to play live after an evening of racing at Epsom Downs racecourse on Thursday 22 July.
The racecourse concert takes place ahead of JLS’s arena tour at the end of the year.
Since appearing on the X-Factor final in 2008 JLS has been nominated for three Brit Awards and the band’s debut album has sold over 900,000 copies in the UK.
Singer James Morrison and pop group Simply Red will also be playing at Epsom this summer — James Morrison on 8 July and Simply Red on 1 July.
“We are delighted to confirm JLS as the third high-profile band to be playing at Epsom Live this summer. Simply Red, James Morrison and now JLS form a line up that will appeal to both music and racing fans alike and with two further announcements to be made, we are looking forward to staging five very exciting and entertaining fixtures in July,” said Rupert Trevelyan, managing director of Epsom Downs racecourse.
