FISHER, the Australian DJ-producer behind the Grammy-nominated dance hit“Losing It,”is making his triumphant return to the Melbourne Cup Carnival on November 7, 2026. Following his electrifying 2025 performance that established The Elms Live Stage as a premier post-race entertainment destination, FISHER will headline the Off the Rails closing party after the final race of TAB Champions Stakes Day at Flemington Racecourse. The Gold Coast native’s set will be included with General Admission tickets, making it accessible to everyone attending the carnival.
The journey to this moment shows just how much FISHER’s career has evolved since his breakthrough. Released in 2018,“Losing It”became a global phenomenon, spending 17 weeks on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart and earning a Grammy nomination. Since then, FISHER has become a fixture at major festivals and clubs worldwide, solidifying his status as one of Australia’s biggest dance music exports. His previous Melbourne Cup Carnival performance impressed thousands of attendees, and VRC CEO Kylie Rogers described it as“the most electrifying and memorable performance for thousands of event goers.”
The 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival runs from October 31 through November 7, representing the ongoing evolution of Australia’s iconic racing event into a multi-day entertainment destination. With FISHER’s return announcement, the carnival continues to blend world-class racing with headline music performances and festival-style experiences. If you’re planning to be at Flemington on November 7, you’re looking at an unforgettable night that combines sport, music, and the kind of energy that defines major Australian cultural events. Are you already thinking about making the trip, or is this your first time considering attending?
