A Bit of Rain Doesn't Dampen The Fox's Melbourne Cup Broadcast
The Fox's Fifi, Fev & Nick crew kept the energy high during their Melbourne Cup special live broadcast from Crown Melbourne despite light rain. Rather than halt the festivities, they moved the celebration indoors, hosting a vibrant pre-Cup event filled with laughter, live music, and celebrity appearances.
Event Highlights and Guests
Broadcast live from 5–7 pm instead of their usual Breakfast show hours, the Crown Atrium rooftop welcomed over 500 guests. The host team included Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, and Nick Cody, alongside notable figures such as Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club CEO Kylie Rogers, and comedian Dave “Hughesy” Hughes.
“The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick didn’t let a little rain dampen their Melbourne Cup special live broadcast from Crown Melbourne yesterday, they just brought the party indoors instead.”
Entertainment and Exclusive Moments
- Live performances by ARIA Award-winning duo PNAU and Cyril
- Audience enjoyed giveaways and live interviews
- Final public appearance of The People’s Cup, the distinctive three-handled Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy
The drizzle yesterday seemed to foreshadow a cold, wet, and windy race day that captures the nation’s attention today.
