One of New Zealand’s biggest drum and bass acts is coming to Cup Day.

Lee Mvtthews will take over The Kirin Hyoketsu Infield stage after the racing at Addington on Tuesday 10 November, headlining an entertainment line-up that also includes Savage and some familiar George FM names.

The Kiwi duo of Graham Matthews and Tom Lee have become regulars on festival stages both here and overseas since forming in 2013. Their tracks have clocked up more than 75 million streams, while their debut album Bones went gold and Takeover, featuring NÜ, reached triple platinum.

They have also been named Best Electronic Artist at the Aotearoa Music Awards.

The Infield made its Cup Day debut last year, drawing more than 3,000 people as harness racing and live music came together in the middle of Addington Raceway.

This year it is back with a bigger set-up and a few changes based on feedback from the first event.

“The response to The Infield last year exceeded our expectations, and the feedback from guests gave us a really clear direction for 2026,” Addington Raceway CEO Brian Thompson says.

“We’ve invested in more seating, more shade, and a new VIP experience, while bringing together a line-up we think will make The Kirin Hyoketsu Infield an even bigger part of NZ Trotting Cup Day.”

Savage will also return after performing at the inaugural Infield, while George FM is back for a second year with its own stage.

General Lee and Tizza return to the decks, with Beccie B joining the line-up for the first time. More local acts are still to be announced.

The Infield itself will have more seating and covered areas this year, while a new VIP option will include food and drinks throughout the races, lounge seating, a mini grandstand for race viewing and a reserved area in front of the stage.

And while there is plenty happening off the track, the racing remains at the centre of the day, with the New Zealand Trotting Cup bringing the country’s best pacers to Addington for one of the biggest races of the year.

First release Infield tickets are $80, rising to $90 for second release and $100 for final release. VIP tickets are $420.

Tickets are on sale now through NZ Cup Week.
