MUSIC NIGHTS RETURN TO SANDOWN PARK THIS SUMMER

MINISTRY OF SOUND CLASSICAL feat. JUDGE JULES | JULY 24 | SANDOWN PARK RACECOURSE, ESHER

DJ JUDGE JULES will join Ministry of Sound Classical as a special guest on Friday, 24th July, at Sandown Park Racecourse. A live concert-format production that takes iconic dance and club music and re-orchestrates them, Ministry of Sound Classical is a hugely influential name in dance music. Started in London in 1991, it has sold out shows at iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, where it also returns in 2026 as part of its tour. Celebrating more than 30 years of iconic dance anthems, the 2026 edition marks the show’s most exciting performance yet, with the power of an orchestra and sensational vocalists, all set to a stunning laser light production.

Judge Jules is one DJ that has been there, done that and done it all again and, for almost four decades, has led the way in the world of dance music. Since hitting the decks in 1987, he has influenced an entire generation as a pioneer of the club scene; passion and persona coupled with crowd connection and unrivalled mixing have earned Judge Jules unforgettable sets at the world’s most iconic clubs and festivals, including Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, Global Gathering and Creamfields.

Judge Jules said: “I have been a part of Ministry Classical shows before at the Royal Festival Hall and The O2 and I’ve done some marvellous venues that I’d never imagined. If you add the right records to an orchestration and the magic of an orchestra to an amazing outdoor venue like Sandown Park Racecourse, I think it’s a really magical combination.”

BILLY OCEAN | JULY 29 | SANDOWN PARK RACECOURSE, ESHER

Nearly 50 years after his first big break, Billy Ocean will be heading to the Esher venue to perform live after racing on Wednesday 29th July 2026. Billy is the biggest black recording star Britain has ever produced, with more than 30 million records sold to date. He has collected a pile of Gold and Platinum records across the world and hit the number one spot in multiple countries, with hits such as “There’ll be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)” and “Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car”.

Billy’s mix of soul and pop has been heard across the world for years now, from movie theme songs to number one albums. Having returned to touring in 2018, he continues to play sold-out shows in iconic venues like the Royal Albert Hall in London and Usher Hall in Edinburgh.

Sarah Drabwell, General Manager at Sandown Park Racecourse, said: “Billy Ocean is sure to wow us with a show full of hits and fantastic vocals, while we know that customers will be ready for an unforgettable night with Ministry of Sound Classical and their exceptional show.”
