Gold Coast DJ FISHER has joined the celebrations for this year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Joining a stacked list of performers, including the just announced PNAU – performing on Melbourne Cup Day – and Craig David – playing on Crown Oaks Day, FISHER will appear as part of the concluding event, TAB Champions Stakes Day on Saturday, 8 November.
Performing at the Off the Rails party following the last race on TAB Champions Stakes Day, FISHER’s performance marks his Melbourne Cup Carnival debut.
“Melbourne, I’m so excited to come to party with you all at the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Giddy up,” FISHER said.
The Victoria Racing Club will soon reveal more entertainment for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
VRC Chief Executive Officer Kylie Rogers commented on FISHER’s booking, “Securing an internationally recognised artist of FISHER’s calibre is truly exciting. FISHER is one of the world’s most electrifying and in-demand artists and the perfect entertainer to headline the Off the Rails party to celebrate the final day of the 2025 Melbourne Cup Carnival.”

Minister for Racing Anthony Carbines added, “Nobody does trackside entertainment like we do in Victoria. This year, we're supporting VRC to bring world-class acts to Flemington, like FISHER, to make sure the 2025 Spring Carnival is bigger and better than ever.
“When you back the racing industry, you back more than 35,000 Victorian jobs and $4.7 billion for the economy – it’s a sure bet.”
Any fan with a general admission ticket can enjoy both live music and the racing. You can find tickets via the VRC website.
This year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival begins with the Howden Victoria Derby Day on Saturday, 1 November. It continues with the Lexus Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday, 4 November, Crown Oaks Day on Thursday, 6 November, and concludes with the TAB Champions Stakes Day on Saturday, 8 November.
Earlier this year, FISHER was nominated for the Best International DJ award for this year’s DJ Awards alongside Calvin Harris and David Guetta.
This year also saw FISHER headline the massive second edition of OUT 2 LUNCH festival on the Gold Coast.
The festival sold over 30,000 tickets and injected $54 million into the Gold Coast economy. It went on to create 1500 jobs, engage over 200 local businesses, and raise $30,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Accommodation also sold out throughout the region.
