Jack Savoretti to headline Newmarket Nights concert

The Jockey Club Live announced today that Jack Savoretti will be headlining Newmarket Nights next year.

The English-Italian singer will be making his Newmarket debut on Friday, August 7, 2020, headlining a live concert after evening races.

Jack tweeted: "Pleased to announce that I'll be headlining at @NewmarketRace next summer.

"It's going to be a great day!"

It has been a whirlwind year for Jack with album Singing to Strangers shifting more than 120,000 copies, making it one of the break-out albums of the year.

Candlelight singer Savoretti has also collaborated with artists as diverse as Kylie, Mika and Sigma.

Singing to Strangers, his sixth studio album, marked a breakthrough for Savoretti - his first UK number one album.

Born in London and raised in Europe by parents with multinational roots, he is continuously inspired by an array of influences, with French, Spanish and Italian music from the 50s and 60s playing an important role in the development of his sound.
