Throughout their hugely successful career, Scouting for Girls have sold over two million albums and singles, earned four BRIT Award nominations and an Ivor Novello nomination, and achieved four UK Top 10 singles. Their catalogue features enduring radio favourites including ‘She’s So Lovely’, ‘Elvis Ain’t Dead’, ‘Heartbeat’ and the UK No.1 ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’.
Renowned for their high-energy, feel-good live performances, the band have sold out iconic venues including Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall. Their highly anticipated new album, These Are The Good Days, will be released on Friday 27th March – a joyful celebration of living in the moment and appreciating life’s standout memories.
With their signature blend of luminous piano melodies and sun-kissed guitars, Scouting for Girls are the perfect soundtrack to a summer day on the July course.
Roy Stride, Scouting for Girls said
“Newmarket, get ready! We can’t wait to see you all at Summer Saturday Live this August. There’s nothing better than playing big outdoor shows in the sunshine and hearing a crowd sing along – it’s one of our favourite things to do. It’s going to be an incredible day, and we can’t wait to be part of it. See you there!”
Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and International Director, said
“Following their huge sold-out show at Cambridge Corn Exchange earlier this month, we’re delighted to announce the band’s return to the region this summer. Pairing Scouting for Girls with Kaiser Chiefs is the perfect line-up for Summer Saturday Live, and we know they’ll be a huge hit with fans.
The line-up for Newmarket Nights in 2026 is incredibly strong, offering something for everyone, with headliners spanning a wide range of genres. We can’t wait to welcome many of you this summer for some remarkable evenings of music and racing.”
