McBusted will play Newmarket Racecourses’ one and only Summer Saturday Live concert this year.

The band said: “We’re very excited... Half of us played a few years ago as McFly so can’t wait to play to the amazing Newmarket fans for the first time as McBusted.

“We love the atmosphere of outdoor gigs, especially those in such unique locations, so can’t wait to share a glorious summers day with you all in August.”

Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, Harry Judd, James Bourne and Matt Willis perform on August 29.

The fixture is a historic one, with the annual running of the Newmarket Town Plate getting proceedings under way.

Tickets go on sale from 9am, April 17, via www.thejockeyclublive.co.uk
