Robbie Williams will take center stage at the 2026 Melbourne Cup, bringing two performances to Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on November 3. Event organizers announced that the British singer will appear as part of the entertainment surrounding one of Australia’s biggest annual sporting events.
The event confirmed Williams will first perform in the Mounting Yard around the arrival of the Melbourne Cup trophy. Later in the day, he is scheduled to return for a larger post-race headline set on The Elms Live Stage.
The Melbourne Cup appearance adds another major date to Williams’ Australian schedule. His BRITPOP World Tour is also set to reach Melbourne later in November, with a stadium show planned at Marvel Stadium.
Williams has maintained a strong following in Australia throughout his career, with songs including Angels, Rock DJ, and Let Me Entertain You remaining familiar parts of his live shows. The Melbourne Cup booking brings his music to a setting that traditionally combines horse racing with fashion, hospitality, and live entertainment.
