Maxim Business Advisors Race Day supporting HMRI ft. INVADES

Maxim Business Advisors Race Day takes over Newcastle Racecourse on Saturday 22 August, with the day supporting HMRI. It's built as a two-part affair: racing on the track by day, followed by INVADES, a party-style takeover with a range of DJ acts and festival vibes. The whole thing runs from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, so it's a long one that carries you from the races into the music.

That's the core of it — sport and music on the same ticket. The racing side is the traditional part of the day, with horses on the track and the usual race day energy. Once the racing winds down, the focus shifts to INVADES, where the DJ line-up takes over and the atmosphere moves into festival territory. It's a day that starts with the sport and ends with the party.

On the practical side, the racecourse has a bar, cafe, restaurant, carpark and public toilets on site, so you've got the basics covered if you're planning to stay for the whole run. One thing to keep in mind is how the tickets work: an INVADES ticket gets you into the race day, but a standard Newcastle Racecourse ticket doesn't give you access to the INVADES event. If you're after the music, make sure you've got the right one.

Tickets range from A$20 to A$290, depending on what you're after. It runs from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm at Newcastle Racecourse, Darling Street, Broadmeadow.
