Fisher returns to close the 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival on The Elms Live Stage.
Flemington’s closing party has a headliner. Fisher is back to see out the 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival.
One of the most in-demand DJs and producers going around, Fisher will take over The Elms Live Stage presented by Maccas on TAB Champions Stakes Day, the final day of the 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival. It’s a return trip, after he headlined the same stage at last year’s Carnival.
His set doubles as the Off the Rails party, the send-off that caps the four days of racing. Once the final race is run, the rails along the home straight get thrown open and the crowd pours trackside. It’s the moment the whole precinct pivots from the track to the dancefloor.

There’s no separate ticket to worry about either. Access to Fisher is folded into General Admission, with entry starting at $65 a head. The Elms runs as an entertainment zone across the Carnival, and the stage sits at the end of the Flemington straight, just past the winning post, open to every GA ticket holder moving through the precinct.
McDonald’s is back on board too, signing on again as the presenting partner behind The Elms Live Stage. Since launching, the Maccas-backed stage has grown into the anchor of the Carnival’s music program, pulling local and global names into the one spot for a festival-style run alongside the racing.
Fisher is only the first name locked in for 2026. The Victoria Racing Club says more of the entertainment line-up will be revealed shortly, so there’s a fair bit still to land before the gates open across the four days of racing this spring.
The 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival gets going with Howden Victoria Derby Day on 31 October, followed by Lexus Melbourne Cup Day on 3 November, Crown Oaks Day on 5 November and TAB Champions Stakes Day on 7 November.
