Posted on Wednesday, August 9th, 2006
Mick Jagger, with the rest of the Rolling Stones, will strut at the home of the Kentucky Derby when the band performs at the famed Churchill Downs race track on Sept. 29.
"It’s an opportunity we have to bring a legendary rock group to a legendary venue," Churchill Downs President Steve Sexton said at a news conference Monday.
Seating will be in the grandstand, clubhouse and on the track. A special covering will be placed over the dirt and turf to protect the racing surfaces, Churchill Downs officials said.
The stage will be placed on the infield, facing the grandstand, giving the band an ideal view of the twin spires, sandwiched between luxury boxes.
Some 50,000 tickets will be available. The Stones haven’t performed in Louisville since 1989.
Churchill Downs will also be the venue of another big event — the 2006 Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships scheduled on Nov. 4, 2006.
