Rocking and Racing

As well as all the racing action, the Silverstone Classic is renowned for its rocking live music concerts. Many notable bands have performed in recent years including: 10cc, the Yardbirds, Canned Heat, the Hollies, Bonnie Tyler and, last year, Status Quo. Heading this year’s bill are chart-toppers The Boomtown Rats on Friday evening and then festival favourites Reef and The Stranglers on Saturday. Getting everyone in the right party mood, top class tribute bands are also strutting well-known classics on both evenings. Ultimate Elton (Elton John) and Limehouse Lizzy (Thin Lizzy) on Friday followed by Live/Wire (AC/DC) on Saturday.
 
It all adds up to two more rousing nights to remember at the Classic – more so as both shows will be accompanied by dramatic balloon glows and awe-inspiring aerial twilight pyrotechnic displays from Twister Aerobatics, returning by popular demand. And, remember, admittance to both concerts is included FREE in all admission tickets plus this year there is the great new addition of the Street Food and Craft Beer Depot in the concert area.
