The iconic sounds of legendary Manchester club The Hacienda are set to take to the stage at Chelmsford City Racecourse.

Hacienda Classical, headed by two of the club’s original DJs - Mike Pickering and Graeme Park, will perform the biggest club tunes from the past three decades alongside a full-programme of racing at the Great Leighs venue.

The tracks will all be reimagined by a 70-piece live orchestra, Manchester Camerata, and a raft of special guests are set to take to the stage throughout the show – rumours are Happy Monday’s Bez is already preparing his famous maracas.

Described as “the sort of idea a raver might come up with after a mad one” this unique concert will be a sound and light extravaganza, harking back to the days of Madchester in the 80s and early 90s.

Tickets start from just £35, and can be bought from www.chelmsfordcityracecourse.com.
