Robbie Williams performs biggest pre-Cup show ever at Flemington

Robbie Williams led the largest pre-Cup performance ever staged at Flemington, performing five hit songs.

Robbie Williams delivered the biggest pre-race show in Melbourne Cup history at Flemington Racecourse on Cup Day. The 52-year-old performed Feel, Rock DJ, Angels, and Let Me Entertain You in a bedazzled suit with horses.

The crowd sang along to Angels, holding champagne flutes and phones high. Williams performed twice: a pre-race show around 2:15pm and a second 75-minute set from 5:45pm.

These performances mark his first Australian concert ahead of his BRITPOP World Tour.
