THE ANGELS announced as headline artist for the 2026 TAB Carnival of Miracles

Club Menangle is excited to officially announce Australian rock band The Angels as the headline entertainment for Garrards Miracle Mile on Saturday 14 March. The Angels will perform some of their classic hits across two sets complementing the excitement on the track for this iconic harness racing event.

Formed in 1974 in Adelaide, The Angels are “a band that changed Australian music forever,” as quoted by Jimmy Barnes. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1998, The Angels have released fourteen studio albums, eight Top 10 albums, and 17 Top 40 singles with hits such as Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, Take A Long Line and Marseilles. The band have toured with music royalty over their 50 plus years including AC/DC, Meat Loaf, David Bowie, Ike & Tina Turner, and Suzi Quatro. Celebrating their 50^th anniversary back in 2024 with some new faces, they are still going strong and were back on the road again in 2025 with the ‘Go For Broke Tour’.

“We’re pumped to be playing live on Miracle Mile night at Club Menangle. Head trackside for an unreal set which is sure to have everyone rocking before the big race,” said Rick Brewster.

The 2026 TAB Carnival of Miracles, held across the first two Saturdays in March, is Australasian’s most prestigious harness racing event. The carnival kicks off with Livamol Chariots of Fire on Saturday 7 March. The evening includes the $250,000 Livamol Chariots of Fire, Miracle Mile Sprint Qualifiers, and NSW Derby heats. On the night the final field for the Garrards Miracle Mile will be decided and the all-important barrier draw will be announced.

Night Two features the iconic and highly anticipated $1million Garrards Miracle Mile with Australasia’s best horses competing for the title of Australia’s fastest horse. Off the track racegoers will also be treated to the delights of Aussie Night Markets including food trucks, carnival rides and speciality stores, and witness elegant racewear fashion on show in the coveted Fashions on the Field competition. The all-night entertainment continues with resident trackside DJ Eluna, roving carnival entertainment, After Party, and culminating with The Angels performing their hits prior to the feature race.

Club Menangle Chief Executive Officer Bruce Christison said, “The TAB Carnival of Miracles is building to be another fantastic fortnight of premium harness race complemented with our exciting off-track entertainment. The Angels performing their classic hits trackside ahead of the prestigious $1m Garrards Miracle Mile on Night Two is sure to be a highlight. Plus, with free entry, Aussie Night Markets, Fashions on the Field and roving entertainment, the TAB Carnival of Miracles promises to be an affordable night out for the whole family. We look forward to welcoming racegoers to Club Menangle this March.”
