For the first time, Sheffield shopping mall Meadowhall will sponsor this year’s series after a successful partnership at last year’s Betfred St Leger Festival Ladies’ Day.
The Summer Saturday series will be taking place across selected Saturdays from May through to August.
Seven electric live acts and themes have been announced for summer dates as part of the build-up to the 250th anniversary of the world-famous Betfred St Leger Stakes at the 2026 Betfred St Leger Festival.
Highlights include a 90s Hangover set from famed Yorkshire DJ Chris Moyles, a live post-racing performance from The Lottery Winners, plus a DJ set from social media sensation and Assistant Manager of Royal Oak FC, Steve Bracknall.
Starting the series indoors, the first two events will be hosted in the large exhibition hall, which contains numerous bars and convenient betting facilities.
The rest of the Summer Saturday series will be hosted outdoors on the County enclosure Champagne Lawn stage.
From disco anthems and drag extravaganzas to country nights and iconic DJ sets, there’s something for everyone.
Rachel Harwood, Executive Director of Doncaster Racecourse, said: “We’re bringing the Summer Saturday series back with a bang this year in partnership with Meadowhall for the first time.
"We’ve announced a brilliant entertainment line-up that we know is going to bring the party atmosphere to the racecourse after an action-packed day of racing.
“Bringing iconic names including Chris Moyles and Steve Bracknall to the racecourse means we really are set to ensure an incredible experience for every racegoer this summer.”
