THE team at Leopardstown have not rested long on their laurels after the great success of the Dublin Racing Festival. Latest news is that multi-platinum-selling singer Paul Young has been confirmed to play Bulmers Live at Leopardstown this July.

One of Britain’s finest ever soul voices, Paul Young released 14 Top 40 hits during a stellar period in the ‘80s, scoring number one singles and albums in both the US and in Europe.

His solo debut album, No Parlez, released in 1983 that included the chart-topping single Wherever I Lay My Hat, which maintained the number one spot for most of that summer, followed by the huge international hit Come Back and Stay.

Young released an album of vintage soul songs in 2016 called Good Thing and has since been making many festival and concert appearances.

Paul Young is the second artist announced for this summer’s Bulmers Live at Leopardstown shows, following The Waterboys who will play at the racetrack on August 16th. Now in its 9th year, Bulmers Live at Leopardstown has established itself as Ireland’s premier racing and live music event, bringing superb international acts to the racecourse over the years. Sister Sledge, The Human League, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Johnny Marr, and Happy Mondays have lined up alongside some of the best live Irish acts of our times, including The Boomtown Rats, Hot House Flowers, The Coronas and Ash.

Ticket options are available for everyone from the great value ‘Summer Bundle’ at only €33 which includes admission to the racing and concert, drinks, festival food option and €5 tote bet to the ‘Pavilion Party’ where you have a table reserved in a premium suite overlooking the racetrack and a three course meal for only €70.

Leopardstown Racecourse is only 20 minutes from Dublin city centre on the Luas Green line, with dedicated free shuttle buses running from the Sandyford stop to the venue.
