The BRIT Award-winning and multi-platinum selling artist – whose latest album Gold Rush Kid topped the charts on its release in June – will play the venue on Sunday, July 2, as the final night in a weekend of special gigs.
An acclaimed live performer, George is the first headline act announced for a weekend of live music at the prestigious Welsh course – with a further announcement to come on Monday, October 31.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday November 4, from www.ticketmaster.co.uk and www.chepstow-racecourse.co.uk
George’s summertime show at Chepstow follows his sell-out UK tour in 2022, off the back of his third Number One album release Gold Rush Kid, which features the hit singles Anyone For You and singalong anthem Green Green Grass.
After two blockbuster albums – Wanted On Voyage (2014) and Staying At Tamara’s (2018), both of which reached Number 1 in the UK and sold millions around the world –Gold Rush Kid marked a return to heart and hearth, as George wrote and produced the album entirely in London with longstanding collaborator Joel Pott.
The weekend of gigs is presented by Chepstow Racecourse with live music promoters Live Nation and Cuffe and Taylor.
Promoter Peter Taylor from Cuffe and Taylor said: “We are absolutely delighted to reveal George Ezra is heading to Chepstow Racecourse as the first of three fantastic headline artists announced for a special weekend of music.
