“It’s a landmark moment for the venue where we have sought to bring the biggest international acts to Essex and establish ourselves as the leading destination for live music in the South East.

“Everyone has done an exceptional job in pulling this together and we can’t wait to see the public’s reaction.”

Cuffe and Taylor promoter, Ben Hatton, added: “Justin Timberlake is a true global star, so to be announcing him as the first ever artist that we are taking to Chelmsford City Racecourse is quite a coup.

“This will be an amazing night that will live long in the memory for the people of Essex and beyond and we hope it is the start of an exciting new relationship with the team at the racecourse.”
