Join us at Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday, 1st August 2026, for an unforgettable afternoon of racing as part of the Meadowhall Summer Saturday Series. We’re delighted to welcome the electrifying Steve Bracknall, who will keep the atmosphere buzzing after racing with an outstanding DJ set of summer anthems guaranteed to keep the party going.
Steve Bracknall is the Assistant Manager of Royal Oak FC, the tactical maverick of the Sheffield Imperial League, and the undisputed voice of grassroots football. What began in local football became a global phenomenon when Steve’s emotive, high-stakes team talks went viral, amassing hundreds of millions of views and over 1.5 million followers across social media.
His popularity hit new heights in 2025, when he sold out Sheffield City Hall (2000 tickets) with his live show. He is also currently bringing Royal Oak to a mainstream audience as the host of Game’s Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast on BBC Sounds and YouTube, taking a weekly deep dive into why the modern game has well and truly "gone."
When it comes to his DJ sets, he doesn’t simply play music; he creates an atmosphere. Blending terrace anthems with his signature “Bracknall Bangers”, he guarantees an electric experience from start to finish.
The entertainment for this raceday will take place on the champagne lawn* after racing. Please note that access to the entertainment is available exclusively to County, Premier, and Hospitality ticket holders for this day. Guests must be aged 13 or over to access the Champagne Lawn, and any guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
