Returning home after his summer residency at one of Ibiza’s most iconic clubs, FISHER shared his excitement to be back on Australian soil and perform for the first time at the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
“Melbourne, I’m so excited to come to party with you all at the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Giddy up.” FISHER said.
