Ryan for the races

Platinum selling artist Ryan Sheridan will headline the first ever live concert event at Naas racecourse after racing on Wednesday 20th July. The event is in conjunction with their summer barbecue evenings and will see Ryan Sheridan along with his full band perform live after racing from 9pm.

Ryan, a multi-instrumentalist, came from the busking scene to a centre stage headline act in less than a year. Ryan Sheridan’s debut album, The Day You Live Forever, was released in 2011. Fuelled by the massive hits Jigsaw and The Dreamer, the album went on to achieve platinum status in Ireland. In 2012, Ryan joined forces with Universal Music in Europe and Australia and has been touring extensively since then. Last year Ryan’s second album, Here And Now, went straight to No 1 in the Irish charts.

Catherine Murray, sales and marketing manager at Naas Racecourse said: “We are really excited to host our first ever live concert at the racecourse. Our summer barbecue evenings are a very popular social occasion and with a live performance from Ryan Sheridan after racing on the way they are just about to get better.'

Tickets are €15 and they include admission to the races, a free €5 bet and the live concert after racing. The first race on the evening is 5.50pm.
