The Living End, one of Australia’s iconic rock bands, will be the headline act at the world’s richest harness race, The TAB Eureka, on September 6 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 dash for the $2.1 million up for grabs.
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,’’ says lead singer Chris Cheney.
“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.’’
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 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 and 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 as of one of Australia’s greatest live bands.
Meanwhile Club Menangle chief executive officer Bruce Christison said they were excited to host the third edition of the world’s richest harness race.
