Flemington Racecourse

Paging all bottle-confined genies and sweet-talkin’ sugar-coated candy men, the legend that is Christina Aguilera has just announced a one-off performance in Melbourne.  For the first time in 15 years, the multi-Grammy Award-winning pop songstress will perform a special open-air concert at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Saturday, November 25.  With over 75 million records sold worldwide and a string of No.1 Billboard Hot 100 singles under her belt, Aguilera is one of the world's most famous pop singers and is often referred to as the “Voice of a Generation” due to her impressive four-octave vocal range and jaw-dropping riffs.  Presented by Untitled Group, her upcoming live performance follows the 20th anniversary of the pop album Stripped and promises to be a journey through her greatest hits such as ‘Genie in a Bottle’, ‘Dirrt’, ‘Lady Marmalade’, ‘Beautiful’, ‘Candyman’, ‘Ain’t No Other Man’, ‘What a Girl Wants’ and so much more.  Christina Aguilera’s performance is part of the Always Live programme, a 17-day statewide celebration of music across Victoria – discover more about the Always Live line-up here. Don’t miss this rare chance to see Christina Aguilera doing what she does best this November. You can register for presale now, and tickets are on sale to the general public on Wednesday, August 30, at 12pm AEST. Register for presale here. Keen to check out more live music?

Start dreaming of summer: St Jerome’s Laneway Festival is on its way.  The one-day festival is known for bringing out some of the hottest new acts alongside local talents. It's returning to The Park in Flemington on February 10, 2024, and we can’t wait to get hot’n’sweaty in the front row. The line-up for Laneway has dropped and it’s chock full of big international acts ready to delight fans in the new year. Leading the charge is UK rapper Stormzy who was last in Australia back in 2017 when he brought the house down at Splendour in the Grass. This will surely make amends with fans who were devastated over the last minute cancellation of his 2022 tour. The line-up will also include 25-year-old American singer Steve Lacy, Dominic Fike of Euphoria fame, grime star AJ Tracey, and Angus Stone’s groovier project Dope Lemon. Other big hitters set to take the stage are Angie McMahon, Confidence Man, D4VD, Eyedress, Nia Archives, Paris Texas and Suki Waterhouse.
