Robbie Williams to Rock Melbourne Cup Day

Robbie Williams will perform at the prestigious Lexus Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday, November 3rd. This performance serves as a warm-up for his upcoming Australian arena tour.

He is scheduled to headline the Elms Live Stage at Flemington Racecourse following the final race. A second performance will take place in the mounting yard during the Nine Network broadcast, just before the trophy presentation. The Victoria Racing Club (VRC) is promoting this mounting yard set as the largest pre-Cup performance ever held at the venue.

Williams expressed his excitement, stating, "Australia, I'm coming in hot. Lexus Melbourne Cup Day will be my first stop before the Britpop Australian tour, and I'm ready to make it unforgettable." He promised "big songs, big energy and a massive celebration after the race that stops the nation."

This engagement occurs during a significant period for Williams, whose 13th studio album, 'Britpop,' released in January, debuted at number one on the UK Official Albums Chart. This achievement marked his 16th career chart-topper in the UK, breaking The Beatles' record for the most number-one albums. The Melbourne Cup Carnival spans four days, commencing with Victoria Derby Day on Saturday, October 31st, followed by Cup Day on Tuesday, November 3rd, Crown Oaks Day on Thursday, November 5th, and TAB Champions Stakes Day on Saturday, November 7th, featuring DJ FISHER. Further entertainment details are anticipated.
