What time does the music start and end?

The concerts are set start at 8.30pm and end at 10.30pm, but depend on the times for the horseraces on the day.

If there is a delay with the races means the concerts will have a slightly later start time but generally the artist will come on stage 15 minutes after the last race.

Tickets included access to the races and concert but if you do not want to attend the horseracing it is recommended you arrive 30 minutes before the final race.
