ONE of Australia’s most formidable rock bands, The Living End, will be the headline artist performing at the world’s richest harness race, The TAB Eureka, on Saturday 6 September at Club Menangle.
The third running of harness racing’s biggest event of the year will showcase Australia’s best three and four-year-old Australian-bred pacers in an exhilarating 2300m Slot Race. The Living End will add to the carnival atmosphere as Menangle becomes a height of activity.
“We can’t wait to head out to join in the fun at The Eureka Harness Race this September at Club Menangle! It might be the world’s richest harness race, but you don’t have to be cashed up to come on down cos it’s free entry,” said lead singer Chris Cheney. The band will perform some fan favourites prior to the feature race followed by an after the last performance including tracks from their new album Only Trust Rock n Roll.
The Living End are an Australian rock band formed in 1994. Since 2002 the line up consists of Chris Cheney, Scott Owen and Andy Strachan. The band rose to fame in 1997 after the release of their double A-sided single, "Second Solution" / "Prisoner of Society". They have released eight studio albums and have had two No. 1 debuts on the Australian Albums Aria Chart. They have also gained chart success in the United States and United Kingdom. Their blistering live performances have earned the band an enviable position of one of Australia’s greatest live bands.
The Living End have just announced they are releasing a blistering new album ‘I ONLY TRUST ROCK N ROLL’ on 26 September.
Club Menangle Chief Executive Officer Bruce Christison said, “We are excited to host the third edition of the world’s richest harness race, The TAB Eureka. Save the date for Saturday 6 September; with free general admission, and an exciting entertainment line up on and off the track, The TAB Eureka promises to be the must attend event of the year. We look forward to welcoming Chris, Scott and Andy from The Living End who will perform their renowned hits on our trackside stage complementing the world-class harness racing.”
In addition to the racing action and The Living End performance, racegoers will also be tempted by the tastes of the popular Aussie Night Markets street food vendors, encouraged to dress to impress for the Style Stakes competition, and be entertained throughout the night with a trackside DJ, carnival rides and roving entertainment. General Admission is free.
