Chris Ward, York Racecourse spokesman on music events, said:

The Knavesmire has played host to many great events including Royal Ascot at York, The papal Mass of Pope John Paul II, the Olympic Torch relay,
The Grand Depart of the Tour de France and now we are excited that Rod Stewart is set to perform his first ever concert in York.”
This will be Rod’s first UK tour in three years following the success of two sold-out tours in 2016 – The UK Hits Stadium Tour and the arena tour “From Gasoline Alley to Another Country Hits.”
Rod Stewart Live In Concert will see Rod play the following dates:
• Fri 31 May Southampton, St Mary’s Stadium
• Sat 1 June York, York Racecourse
• Tues 4 June Milton Keynes, Stadium MK
• Fri 7 June Ipswich, Portman Road Stadium
• Sat 8 June Wolverhampton, Molineux Stadium
• Wed 12 June Aberdeen, AECC
• Fri 14 June Bolton, University of Bolton Stadium
The fully seated tour is being promoted by Cuffe and Taylor whose director Peter Taylor said:
“We are delighted to be announcing Rod Stewart Live In Concert.
We have presented numerous shows with him over the past five years and this will be our second full tour with him.
As his fans know, Rod presents the most amazing shows.
He continues to play to huge audiences across the globe and it is an absolute pleasure to once again be taking him across the UK once to reach tens of thousands of people who will have the most incredible night watching him perform live.”
A temporary concert arena will be built specifically for the event in the middle of the Knavesmire adjacent to York Racecourse's Clocktower Enclosure.
Unlike other racecourse music events later in the year, this will be an all seated event temporary arena on a non raceday.
With his signature voice, style and songwriting, Rod Stewart has transcended all genres of popular music, from rock, folk, soul, R&B, and even the American standards; making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career.
Rod has earned countless of the industry’s highest awards, among them, two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, New York Times bestselling author, Grammy™ Living Legend, and in 2016 he officially became ‘Sir Rod Stewart’ after being knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.
