Notably, both owners are keen to raise the club’s profile in soccer. The duo is constantly looking for ways to improve the club, and they have successfully revamped the team from its foundation.

In fact, they have taken their vision to take the Welsh side beyond just soccer. They have diversified and expanded the business, which has helped them gain a fresh wave of followers from around the world. Hence, with the same ambition, the club will host a concert at its stadium, where Kings Of Leon will perform. However, Reynolds dreams of having bigger names arrive at the Racecourse Ground.

Following the end of the season, Reynolds and McElhenney are looking to put the Racecourse Ground to good use. Just like other soccer clubs, the Red Dragons are hosting a musical concert of the famous band, Kings Of Leon. The band is set to play two gigs at Wrexham on May 27-28. While the show is set for a massive sellout, they plan to raise the bar even higher.

The owners are dreaming of pop stars like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé performing at the Racecourse Ground in the future. This was claimed on the Fearless In Devotion podcast, where both expressed their wish to see the famous singers play a gig at their stadium. “We’re going to need some more seats, Rob,” Reynolds laughed. “They play the biggest of the big stadiums.”

“I would love to see any band, either ones I grew up listening to or ones I’ve found as an adult. What a venue the Racecourse is, I love that that’s happening now.” Reynolds was also looking forward to the upcoming performance at Racecourse Ground. “I love that The Kings of Leon are playing. That’s a huge act and here they are and we are so excited to host them for not one but two dates.”

It is quite an ambition from Reynolds to see both renowned singers play their gig. It might not happen very soon as both these artists are now on their magnific concert tours. But it can definitely happen, because of their long-time friendship. In fact, Swift has good relations with the Canadian actor and his wife, Blake Lively.

The story behind their friendship

The friendship between Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds has stood the test of time and is regarded as one of the most enduring relationships in Hollywood. The friendship between Swift and Lively dates back to 2015. Since then, we have often seen them hanging out with each other.
