AUSTRALIAN STARS TO ENTERTAIN THE PARK AT MELBOURNE CUP CARNIVAL

Some of the biggest music acts in Australia – The Presets, Amy Shark and Conrad Sewell – will hit the stage in The Park during the 2018 Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington Racecourse.

The stellar lineup will entertain music fans and racegoers alike across AAMI Victoria Derby Day (Saturday 3 November), Lexus Melbourne Cup Day (Tuesday 6 November), Kennedy Oaks Day (Thursday 8 November), and Seppelt Wines Stakes Day (Saturday 10 November).

AAMI Victoria Derby Day will feature the electronic dance music of ARIA Award nominee

MAFIA will bring her incredible ability to mix a variety of genres into one big party set to Australia’s biggest raceday.

The music talent to grace The Park stage hits overdrive on Kennedy Oaks Day with indie-pop singer-songwriter Amy Shark to perform tunes from her number one album Love Monster and smash debut EP Night ThinkerFurnace and the Fundamentals will entertain with their immense repertoire spanning countless hits, while Thandi Phoenix will bring her powerhouse vocals to ‘Ladies Day’ at Flemington.

Cup Week culminates on Seppelt Wines Stakes Day featuring ARIA Award-winner Conrad Sewell performing his hits including Start Again and Healing Hands, plus New Zealand DJ/Production duo Sweet Mix Kids.

Amy Shark said she’s looking forward to being at Flemington for the world’s most vibrant racing event.
“There’s so much history associated with the Melbourne Cup Carnival so it’s an honour to be asked to play. There’s always so much going on from the racing to the fashion.”
Conrad Sewell said he’s excited to attend Melbourne Cup Carnival for the first time.
“I’ve never been before. And there’s nothing better than seeing a bunch of people dressed all fancy winning and celebrating with friends. Plus, I like hats.”
 Victoria Racing Club (VRC) Executive General Manager Customer Engagement Caroline Ralphsmith said The Park lineup across the week is sure to delight music fans.
“The VRC is committed to providing a fully immersive experience for racegoers at Flemington and The Park has something for everyone – music, fashion, food and entertainment. The Club is proud to showcase local talent at Australia’s most celebrated major event, the Melbourne Cup Carnival.”
