Despite light rain, The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick kept the festive spirit alive during their special Melbourne Cup live broadcast from Crown Melbourne by moving the celebration indoors.
The lively pre-Cup event drew more than 500 guests to the Crown Atrium rooftop and featured humor, live performances, and a star-studded lineup that included Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, Nick Cody, Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club CEO Kylie Rogers, and Dave “Hughesy” Hughes.
The broadcast took place from 5 to 7 p.m., replacing the group’s usual morning show schedule. The crowd enjoyed live music, giveaways, and exclusive interviews, while the legendary three-handled Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy made its final public appearance before the race.
"It looks like the drizzle yesterday was a precursor for a cold, wet and windy race that stops the nation today."
Performances by ARIA Award-winning duo PNAU and artist Cyril added energy to the gathering, blending entertainment and racing excitement on the eve of the Cup.
Fans can tune in to listen to Fifi, Fev & Nick on Melbourne’s 101.9 The Fox from 6–9 a.m. weekdays, also available on LiSTNR.
Summary: The Fox’s team turned rainy weather into a vibrant indoor celebration at Crown Melbourne, combining music, fun, and racing anticipation ahead of the nation’s biggest horse race.
