The electric Three Friday Nights will feature a line-up of leading names on 9, 16 and 23 June 2023. Since it’s ground-breaking inception in 2013, these iconic nights of post-racing entertainment in the parade ring comes with a fresh line up of international DJs, immersive performances and a few surprises for racegoers.
Over 25,000 fans descend across the three nights when Goodwood Racecourses' iconic parade ring transforms into a laser-lit dancefloor as the sun sets on an evening of racing in a stunning open-air amphitheatre. This year, racegoers are encouraged to celebrate a new ‘reflection’ theme which will be carried through lighting installations, dress code and surprise performances throughout the night. Crumpets and tea will be offered to racegoers as they depart the course, while complimentary return bus journeys to Chichester Train Station and neighbouring towns make it accessible for all.

This mysterious yet light-hearted charm adds obvious appeal to a house and tech set, which will feature remixes such as ‘No eyes ft Jaw’ and ‘In The Night.’ Bound to prove popular, an appearance on the South Downs is one of a handful of his UK tour dates announced in 2023.
