Sir Tom Jones' barnstorming performance at Newmarket Nights showed what a "joy" it was for gigs at the Suffolk racecourse to return, organisers have said.

Stars Olly Murs, Jess Glynne, Rick Astley and McFly will all take to the stage at Newmarket Racecourse this year after the popular concert series was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19.

Newmarket Racecourse general manager Sophie Able said: "The atmosphere was fantastic and Tom Jones put on an incredible show, performing songs from his most recent number one album as well as all the crowd-pleasers.

"We're already looking forward to welcoming Olly Murs on Friday for what is set to be another memorable evening of racing and music."

Tickets are still available for the upcoming 2021 concerts, which also include a night at the races.

Newmarket Nights organisers have already announced The Script and Pete Tong's Ibiza Classics for next summer.
