LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU: Robbie to star at AFL grand final show

0

British pop star Robbie Williams is set to entertain Aussies after being confirmed as the headline act at this year’s AFL grand final.

“I am so excited to be performing for all the fans, on the hallowed turf of the MCG, for the biggest game of the year,” Williams said.

“I’m really looking forward to performing with a cast of very talented local Australian musicians and I can’t wait to see you all on that last Saturday in September.”

“If it goes well, I might even put my hand up to be the next CEO of the AFL.”

The 2022 AFL grand final marks the first time the premiership decider will return to its traditional home since 2019 due to COVID-19, which saw last year’s grand final played at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

Scoring the signer – who has sold 80 million records worldwide over a career spanning 25 years – is an impressive feat that outgoing CEO Gillon McLachlan said was fitting for welcoming fans back to the MCG.

“We are back at the MCG, back in front of 100,000 fans and no better performer than Robbie Williams to help amplify the atmosphere ahead of the biggest sporting event in the country,” McLachlan said.

The League’s manager of commercial and customer Kylie Rogers said a number of Australian acts would also be involved in the pre-game entertainment.

“Robbie Williams is considered one of the world’s greatest showmen and to have him perform in the Telstra pre-game entertainment, along a with a cast of Australian acts to be announced shortly, will be the perfect way to open the 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final,” Rogers said.

Mushroom Group CEO Matt Gudinski said his team were also working to produce “one of the greatest Grand Final pre-game spectacles of all time”.

Williams was recently in Melbourne filming his biopic Better Man and performed two shows at Rod Laver Arena in April for concert footage to be used in the movie.
