REUNITED girl band All Saints will be entertaining crowds at York Racecourse this summer.

Melanie Blatt, Shaznay Lewis, Natalie and Nicole Appleton, who were one of the most successful pop groups of the 1990s, will be headlining Music Showcase Saturday on July 29.

The Pure Shores singers have had two multi-platinum albums and record sales in excess of 12 million worldwide.

On the racecourse itself, the Sky Bet York Stakes will be the £120,000 centrepiece of a seven race card.

Just the evening before, on July 28, pop star Jess Glynne will have been on the Knavesmire stage, after an evening of racing.

James Brennan, head of marketing and sponsorship at the racecourse, said: "Everyone at the course is really excited now that we have finalised an exciting music act that will sit alongside our races.

"I’m delighted that we will be welcoming Melanie, Shaznay, Natalie and Nicole to York.

"This year’s line-up offers performers who have been stars across two decades and promises to be a real treat. Add in the spectacle of the racing itself and we hope these will prove summer days to savour."

It promises to be a fun-packed July for racing and music fans as there are four other race days scheduled for the month, which gets under way with a brand new date for the York Calendar, on July 1, when Olly Murs will be the headline act.

A fortnight later, the traditional highlight of the 58th John Smith’s Cup Meeting, on July 14 and 15, will be held.

All Saints' self-titled debut Album went five times platinum and produced 3 number one singles, including the double BRIT award-winning ‘Never Ever’ which ended up selling more than 1.2 million copies in the UK. The band returned with a new album, 'Red Flag', and are back performing live.
