Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.

All of these stellar acts are set to join the previously announced headliner – KISS. Currently gearing up for retirement, when they perform at the final on September 30, it’ll be the last chance Melbourne fans have to catch the band live.

Mark Seymour, of Hunters and Collectors notoriety, is bringing his band The Undertow to the Grand Final. Their blend of rock and folk, coupled with Mark Seymour’s iconic vocals, will have the crowd on their feet.

“Mark Seymour is one of Australia’s most talented singer-songwriters,” said AFL EGM Commercial and Customer Kylie Rogers in the AFL’s press release. “His song Holy Grail is the unofficial anthem of footy finals, it will be an absolute treat to have him perform at half-time for the 100,000 fans in-stadium and the millions watching at home.”

Kate Miller-Heidke has consistently captivated audiences with her mesmerising voice, storytelling, and humour. She’s set to not only serenade us with the anthem but will also weave her magic into the halftime show.

Telstra Pre-Game Entertainment will kick off with a performance by William Barton, Australia’s virtuoso of the didgeridoo, offering a glimpse into the heart of Indigenous culture. Joining him is the soul-stirring Jess Hitchcock, the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter who’s cast a spell over the Australian music landscape with her captivating melodies.
