SALTBURN singer James Arthur and noughties boyband Busted have been announced as summer headliners at York Racecourse.
Busted will headline Summer Music Saturday at the Racecourse on June 29, while former X-Factor winner James Arthur will headline the Music Showcase Saturday on July 27.
James Brennan, head of marketing and sponsorship at the racecourse, said: “Busted are a band we’ve been keen to have at York Racecourse for some time as we know the crowds will know and love the music and the party atmosphere they’ll provide after some great racing at Summer Music Saturday.
"With James Arthur, everyone at the course is really excited that a Northern boy made good is set to play York.
"Add in the spectacle of the racing itself and we hope it will prove a summer day to savour."
Busted shot to fame in the early 2000s with hits including Year 3000 and What I go to School For..
James Arthur won the X-Factor in 2013 and followed that success with a string of hits.
Tickets for both artists and racing can be bought from yorkracecourse.co.uk
