Live Music FAQs

Warwick Racecourse is a leisure venue hosting 19 horseracing fixtures per year.

During each racing plus music event, six to seven races take place followed by live music. The ticket/s you purchase will include the racing and the concert. We do not offer a concert only ticket or a racing only ticket.

As your ticket includes the horseracing and the concert, we would encourage you to experience this exciting sporting event and also to help familiarise yourself with the racecourse before the concert commences.
Warwick Racecourse is predominantly an outdoors standing venue with limited indoor seating.

At Warwick Racecourse we believe racing should be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And one thing is certainly true, the more relaxed and comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to have a great time. So that’s why we’ve created one very simple piece of guidance, to come “dressed to feel your best”.

Whatever your tastes, the most important thing when choosing your outfit is, of course, comfort and confidence. So, wear what feels right for you and will keep you feeling your best from start to finish, whatever the weather.

Please note the concert is on grass so it might be best to leave the high heels at home. Our style awards judges from 2024 will be handing out spot prizes to those who impress them. So get your best Ibizia inspired outfits on and embrace the 2025 music vibe.

The racecourse is made up of two enclosures during racing; Course Enclosure. 

For the concert element of the event all the enclosures merge with first access to Course Enclosure customers, followed by the Main Enclosure.

The concert location is at the back of the centre of the course. This area can only be accessed during the concert, racing can be viewed from the two racecourse enclosures.

Main Enclosure: The main enclosure is the place to be if you want to get in the heart of the racing action and get a close up look at the horses, the main betting ring and access the indoor bars. Once racing has finished you can cross the track to access the concert.

Course Enclosure: The course enclosure is in the centre of the course on the opposite side of the track to the main enclosure. Access to the centre of the course will provide the closest access to the music stage.
Please note: Centre Course Enclosure tickets cannot cross the track to access the main enclosure and its facilities.

Concert area: Once racing has finished access to the centre of the course concert area is opened up to both enclosures. This area is strictly standing only and not suitable for children as it can become very busy and lively. If you prefer a more relaxed environment customers will have the opportunity to remain in their respective enclosure, have access to the bars and facilities and watch the concert from the large screens.
