A Bit of Rain Doesn't Stop The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick Melbourne Cup Broadcast
The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick team adapted to rainy weather by moving their Melbourne Cup live broadcast indoors at Crown Melbourne. Despite the drizzle, the event remained lively with a packed pre-Cup celebration filled with laughter, live music, and special guests.
Event Highlights and Guests
Broadcasting live from 5 to 7 pm instead of their usual Breakfast show hours, over 500 guests gathered at the Crown Atrium rooftop. Present were Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, Nick Cody, Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club Chief Executive Officer 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."
Live Performances and Activities
- ARIA Award-winning duo PNAU and artist Cyril performed live on stage.
- The crowd enjoyed giveaways and live interviews throughout the event.
- The final public viewing of The People’s Cup, the three-handled Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy, was held.
Yesterday’s drizzle hinted at the forecast for a cold, wet, and windy race day, which captivated the nation today.
Additional Information
Listeners can hear Fifi, Fev & Nick on Melbourne’s 101.9 The Fox from 6 to 9 am on weekdays, as well as on the LiSTNR app.
"It looks like the drizzle yesterday was a precursor for a cold, wet and windy race that stops the nation today."
