A bit of rain doesn’t dampen The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick’s Melbourne Cup live broadcast

4 November 2025 · News

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, hosting a packed pre-Cup celebration filled with laughs, live music, and celebrity guests.

Broadcast live from 5–7pm instead of their usual Breakfast show hours, more than 500 guests filled the Crown Atrium rooftop with Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, Nick Cody, Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club Chief Executive Officer Kylie Rogers and Dave “Hughesy” Hughes all in fine form.

The event also had live performances from ARIA Award-winning duo PNAU and Cyril with the crowd enjoyed giveaways, live interviews, and the final public appearance of The People’s Cup, the three-handled Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy.

It looks like the drizzle yesterday was a precursor for a cold, wet and windy race that stops the nation today.

Listen to Fifi, Fev & Nick on Melbourne’s 101.9 The Fox from 6-9am weekdays, also on LiSTNR.
