The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick did not let a little rain spoil their Melbourne Cup special live broadcast from Crown Melbourne. They moved the celebration indoors, hosting a lively pre-Cup event full of laughter, live music, and celebrity guests.
The broadcast was live from 5 to 7 pm, replacing their usual Breakfast show hours. Over 500 guests gathered on the Crown Atrium rooftop. Notable personalities included Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, Nick Cody, Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club CEO Kylie Rogers, and comedian Dave “Hughesy” Hughes.
“The event also had live performances from ARIA Award-winning duo PNAU and Cyril with the crowd enjoying giveaways, live interviews, and the final public appearance of The People’s Cup, the three-handled Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy.”
The drizzle during the event hinted at a cold, wet, and windy Melbourne Cup race day.
