Nocturne, the four-day concert series taking place at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, have announced that The Corrs will perform at the event on Friday June 24^th. Support will come from hotly-tipped, acoustic singer-songwriter Jack Savoretti whose new album Written In Scars reached the UK top 10 this month.

Nocturne, which launched last year with sold-out shows from Ludovico Einaudi, Van Morrison and Gregory Porter, transforming The Great Court at Blenheim Palace into the ultimate open-air concert venue. Elton John, who will bring the event to a close on Sunday June 26^th with his first show in Oxford for over 10 years, is a real coup for one of the UK’s newest live music events.

Nocturne Director Ciro Romano: “We set the bar incredibly high by announcing Sir Elton as our first headliner for this year’s event so we’re delighted to have been able to follow this with the news that a band of the quality and stature of The Corrs will also be performing this year. The opportunity to watch them perform their timeless songs against the gorgeous backdrop of Blenheim Palace is one not to be missed.”

The Corrs perform on Friday June 24^th and Elton John and his band perform on Sunday June 26^th. The remaining two headline acts will be announced in due course.

Tickets for The Corrs start at £45 and go on general sale on Friday February 5^th at 9am. VIP packages are available, including fine dining in Sir Winston Churchill’s Long Library.
