On Monday, June 29th, 2026, Royal Windsor Racecourse is hosting what promises to be an amazing mash-up of live racing and the music of Queen. An excellent card of Flat racing is complemented by one of the UK’s best and most loved Queen tribute acts. After racing, the stage is set on Windsor’s beautiful lawn for a performance by Supersonic Queen.
Expect all the hits to be played. You can sing along as loud as you want to Don’t Stop Me Now, Radio Ga Ga, Bohemian Rhapsody and many more. All of this sport, betting and music is set to the brilliant backdrop of the River Thames, the Berkshire countryside and Windsor’s unique figure-of-eight racetrack.
