Kaiser Chiefs are first past the post

The concert will take place after racing on June 28 as Yorkshire’s two leading racetracks confirm their musical line-ups for 2014.

As well as the Leeds band, legendary rockers Status Quo will perform live after racing on May 17 while James Blunt will take to the stage on August 16.

Meanwhile York has recently announced that The Beach Boys and Wet Wet Wet will perform on the Knavesmire at the end of July.

Managing director Mark Spincer said: “The Kaiser Chiefs are bound to strike a chord with music lovers in Doncaster and beyond. We’re expecting large crowds for a great day’s racing and some top-class entertainment
