Australian acts to join Snoop Dog for grand final entertainment

From chart-toppers to crowd favourites, six Australian acts will join international music icon Snoop Dogg on the MCG for pre-game entertainment ahead of this year’s AFL Grand Final on Saturday, September 27.

With more than a billion streams and sold-out shows around the world, one of Australia’s most influential and celebrated artists, Tash Sultana will form part of Snoop Dogg’s band with a show-stopping guitar performance.

Also performing will be proud Yolŋu artist and six-time ARIA award winner, Baker Boy, who will return for footy’s biggest day after his performance at the 2021 Toyota AFL Grand Final.

He will be joined by a powerful choir featuring Emma Donovan and Kee’ahn- both of whom appeared on the original recording of THICK SKIN, the current single from his upcoming album DJANDJAY.

Having performed at the 2023 NAB AFLW Grand Final, Australian singer-songwriter Vera Blue will return to perform the Australian National Anthem, while September specialist Mike Brady AM is back to belt-out his iconic football hit, UP There Cazaly.

AFL customer and commercial general manager Bec Haagsma said it was great to have a stellar line up of Australian artists as part of the pre-game entertainment.

“Australia is brimming with incredible musical talent, and we’re thrilled to bring a stellar line-up of homegrown stars to the MCG as we celebrate the end of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season and crown this year’s premiers,” Ms Haagsma said.

“I can’t wait to see 100,000 fans at the MCG – along with millions more watching around the globe – come together to be entertained by some of the very best in music.”
