Melbourne is set to go country with the Ranch Roundup at Caulfield Racecourse, a brand new event from the Melbourne Racing Club combining racing and live music. Headlining the two separate days are two of Australia’s most exciting country artists, Brad Cox and Sara Berki.
Across both days, the Ranch Roundup is transforming Caulfield into a playground of horse racing, music and family fun. It’s a true celebration of Australian culture and whether you’re going for the races, the bubbles, the music or the atmosphere, the Ranch Roundup promises to be two unforgettable events.
This Saturday, November 15, Berki will perform at the Caulfield C.F. Orr Stakes day just two weeks ahead of the release of her brand new EP Outrun on November 28. Families can dive into the action with free pony rides, horse skill showcases and barrel racing, while the Clip Clop Club ensures little wranglers get a taste of the track. Between the races, guests can two-step, browse stalls and refuel with smoky BBQ from Red Gum BBQ amongst other local food trucks.
Berki will bring her soulful vocals and vivid storytelling to the stage, both of which making her one of the most exciting new voices in Australian country music. With hits like A Boy That’s Into Trucks, Berki makes emotions an effortless cool. Expect a set that’s equal parts passion and power yet still raw and relatable.
Following that on Saturday, November 29, Cox will headline the Caulfield Spring Finale. It will no doubt be high energy racing, festival vibes and loud country music. This will be your final chance to sip, graze and party before the racing carnival wraps.
