They are known for the hits ABC, The Love You Save, I Want You Back and I’ll Be There.

Haydock Park is building on the success of last year’s Jockey Club series having welcomed more than 200,000 music fans in 2016.

Jason Fildes, Haydock Park general manager, said: “We’re thrilled to announce another fantastic act for our summer of music at Haydock Park.
