Regard and Cassö at the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival

Festival season is around the corner, and two international DJ acts are kicking it off with two big nights this spring at the 2026 Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival. After the races wrap up, the trackside stage will turn into a pumping dancefloor, with Albanian DJ Regard and British DJ Cassö headlining the entertainment.

Multiplatinum DJ and producer Regard will bring his signature house sound to the Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas with a high-energy set packed with club favourites, remixes and global hits. He shot to international recognition with his reworking of Jay Sean’s Ride It, which became a global smash hit. He’s since followed it with tracks including Secrets with Raye and You with Troye Sivan and Tate McRae, establishing himself on the international dance music scene.

At the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup on October 17, the main stage will come alive after the last as the racing makes way for a huge trackside set. British DJ and producer Cassö will take over the main stage, with high-energy tunes that will bring big festival energy, like his viral breakout hit Prada with Raye and D-Block.

Before the party kicks off, there’ll be plenty to eat and drink alongside the racecourse, with Food Lane bringing together Melbourne’s favourite bites like Mr Miyagi, Madeline’s, and Ebby Chicken – offering carnival-exclusive dishes and cocktails created just for the event. Plus, pop-up bars will be dotted throughout the precinct and Fashion on Track will host hair and beauty pop-ups from Joey Scandizzo and Chantelle Baker for those looking to touch-up their race day look.  

The Sportsbet Caufield Guineas on October 10 marks the opening day of the 2026 Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival, with the historic 150th running of the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup following on Saturday October 17.

First-release tickets are currently 30 per cent off, from $45, or $160 for a group of four.
