Horsing around: get set for some serious Melbourne Cup partying

This racing season, punters will have one more reason to get down to the racetrack. For what better way to get the party started than with some of Australia’s best live music acts.

Running from November 4-9, including the big day on Tuesday, the 2017 Melbourne Cup Carnival is set to go off. And no matter what your musical tastes, there is sure to be something on the bill that will get you shaking your thang throughout the day.

Some of the main attractions over the week include global phenomenon Hot Dub Time Machine, indie-pop powerhouse San Cisco, along with sets from electro-wizards The Presets, and the cranking beats of the Bag Raiders.

With November just around the corner, now is the time to saddle up for some fun.  Chris Prindiville
