Experience The Thrill! Melbourne Cup Celebration At Airlie Beach Hotel

On November 5th, the Airlie Beach Hotel will host a special event designed to make you feel like you are part of the racing action of the Melbourne Cup.

While the cup is on, get ready to moonwalk down memory lane and groove to the electrifying beats of two music legends.

You may remember returning band ‘SOULCUTZ,’ and their unforgettable journey on X Factor in 2014, where they made it to the top 12. Get ready to moonwalk down memory lane as these musical legends are back at the Airlie Beach Hotel to pay tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, and today’s pop sensation, Bruno Mars, to get you ready for the fantastic atmosphere of the Melbourne Cup.

Experience the magic of Michael Jackson’s timeless classics like “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” and “Smooth Criminal” which SOULCUTZ will bring to life throughout the day's duration.

From the iconic dance moves to the signature fashion, it’s a journey back in time that will leave you mesmerised.

SOULCUTZ don't, stop there however, and encourage you to get your dancing shoes ready as they transition to the contemporary hits of Bruno Mars. With chart-toppers such as “Uptown Funk,” “24K Magic,” and “Just the Way You Are,” to help you get grooving to the latest pop sensations.

Soulcutz's performance kicks off at 10am, and there’s a drink package included, so be sure to arrive early!

After being taken through the times by SOULCUTZ, get ready for soul music songstress Lisa Hunt’s ‘Forever Soul’ show.  Lisa will grace the stage with her powerful voice and heartfelt performances, soothing your spirit with her timeless soul tunes. But that’s not all—she’ll also have you on your feet, dancing and grooving to the irresistible rhythms to make your day even more enjoyable.

If the live music isn't enough to get you in the Melbourne Cup spirit, then the Airlie Beach Hotel also has a variety of sweeps, free raffles, phantom calls, party games, fashions of the footpaths and load of prizes and surprises throughout the day to keep you entertained.

If you are worried about getting to and from the venue, Airlie Beach Hotel has you covered providing two courtesy buses which will be running from 9 am. Additionally, the TAB will open at 8 am so you can place all your bets nice and early.

Head on down to the Airlie Beach Hotel to celebrate the Melbourne Cup in style!
