\n\t\u201cAustralia, I\u2019m coming in hot. Lexus Melbourne Cup Day will be my first stop before the Britpop Australian tour, and I\u2019m ready to make it unforgettable,\u201d Williams said in a statement. \u201cExpect big songs, big energy and a massive celebration after the race that stops the nation.\u201d VRC chief executive Kylie Rogers called it \u201cthe perfect way to celebrate the prestige and significance of Lexus Melbourne Cup Day,\u201d noting it marks Williams\u2019 first performance at Flemington.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Cup Day date lands during a career-defining run for Williams. His 13th studio album, Britpop<\/em>, arrived via Columbia Records in January \u2014 released three weeks ahead of schedule in a surprise drop timed to avoid competing with Taylor Swift\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>. The gambit paid off: Britpop<\/em> debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart, giving Williams his 16th career chart-topper there and making him the outright record-holder for the most No. 1 albums in the chart\u2019s history, surpassing the Beatles\u2019 longstanding mark of 15. The album, featuring guest turns from Chris Martin, Black Sabbath\u2019s Tony Iommi and Mexican duo Jesse & Joy, drew some of Williams\u2019 strongest reviews in years.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams\u2019 Australian and New Zealand dates are part of his Britpop Tour, a stadium run marking his first tour of mainly outdoor venues since 2017\u2019s Heavy Entertainment Show Tour. The Australian leg will feature support from Manchester\u2019s The Lottery Winners and Melbourne artist G Flip, with Wellington group Drax Project joining for the New Zealand shows.<\/p>\n

\n\tMelbourne Cup Carnival runs across four days this year: Victoria Derby Day on Saturday, Oct. 31, Cup Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3, Crown Oaks Day on Thursday, Nov. 5, and TAB Champions Stakes Day on Saturday, Nov. 7, when Australian DJ FISHER performs. Additional Carnival entertainment is expected to be announced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
