Boe and Ball all set for Ayr

Singing stars announce Old Racecourse gig

- STUART WILSON

Two of the greatest voices in the world are on their way to Ayr for a spectacula­r open-air summer gig.

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe will take to the stage at the Old Racecourse on the night of Sunday, July 10.

The duo will perform hit songs from their four charttoppi­ng albums during the gig that is set to attract thousands of fans.

Their debut release ‘Together’ quickly became the UK’s best selling album of 2016 and beat artists like Little Mix and The Rolling Stones to the Christmas No1 spot.

‘Together Again’ brought the pair yet another No1 album in 2017 before ‘Back Together,’ their third album, landed them the No.2 spot.

And in November 2020, Ball and Boe released a collection of Christmas classics (along with a self-penned track from Michael) which, again, topped the Official Album Chart.

As a duo they have now sold more than 1.3 million albums in the UK, received two Classic Brit Awards, sold out two headline arena tours and presented three ITV specials.

Their event in Ayr is expected to be one of the biggest music gigs staged in the county in many years.

A spokespers­on for the event’s promoters, The LHG, said: “We are so looking forward to Ball and Boe joining our spectacula­r night of music in Ayr for a sundown of classic hits.

“The last couple of years have been so challengin­g so it will be so amazing to see everyone ‘Together Again’.”

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, February 18 at 9am and can be purchased from www. ticketmast­er.co.uk, www. ticketek.co.uk and www. lhgtickets.com
