  • Marketing exec, Alexia, who is writing this blog, and,
  • Chief Operating Officer, Richard

We are thrilled to announce that The Fillers will be taking to the stage after racing on Friday Eve 23rd May.

Coming out of their cage and heading straight to the stage! After an evening of thrilling racing, the world’s first and best tribute to “The Killers” will be performing after the last race.

The group who formed back in 2006 in the era of Sam’s Town will be performing iconic hits such as Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me and many more, you don’t want to miss it!

The Fillers have even interacted with the actual band themselves at close quarters, they’ve captured the sound look and feel of the Vegas quartet.

Even The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers reckons “You should check them out”.

Somebody told me this event is going to be unforgettable! So don’t let jealousy get you—grab your tickets now! Click here to book.

Why not try the Wrap ‘n’ Roll package. On both Friday Evenings in 2025 (23rd May & 18th July) we have a new package called Wrap ‘n’ Roll. For £30 enjoy entry into the Grandstand & Paddock, a Yorkshire pudding wrap and pint (or glass of house wine). This ticket must be booked in advance online.

Stay tuned to find out who will be performing on Friday 18th July, any guesses?
