Legendary DJ and music producer Armand Van Helden Live

Legendary DJ and music producer Armand Van Helden will perform live at Chelmsford City Racecourse on Saturday 30 August 2025, headlining the final night of the venue’s brand-new Summer Sessions series.

Known for his chart-topping hits and electrifying live sets, Van Helden is set to bring his unmistakable sound and energy to Essex for an unforgettable end-of-summer celebration.

With a career spanning decades, Van Helden stands as a true pioneer of electronic and house music. He’s the creative force behind global anthems including “U Don’t Know Me”, “My My My”, and “Bonkers” (with Dizzee Rascal), alongside era-defining remixes for artists such as Tori Amos, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and David Guetta. His hit-making Duck Sauce project further cemented his status as dance music royalty.

“We are delighted to be offering Armand Van Helden as a headliner for our brand-new dance music initiative, Summer Sessions. It’s the perfect crescendo to the amazing summer of entertainment planned for 2025 and his first-ever performance following racing anywhere in the world.”

— Anthony Coleridge, Head of Events, Chelmsford City Racecourse
