So how do we all feel about Robbie performing GF day? We're all ok with him performing his award winning track 'let me entertain you?' I reckon Imma put my fingers in my ears and lalalalala my way through it. I reckon we should go with Joe Satriani to surf with the alien and that man.. Kenny G.. perhaps.
Of course it's all for naught. I honestly don't care. The last Grand Final I attended, a studiously ignored Ed Sheeran - I was more interested in standing in a queue buying essential beer supplies for the game ahead.
He would usually be everything I hate - ex-Boy Band, pop music, cocky show-off. However, I saw him in concert a few years ago and even I have to admit he was excellent. Great performance and, importantly, he knows how to play in front of a big audience.

Rather hi-5
Regrettably, they’re touring in November, so dates don’t quite align

TISM please
I thought Robbie Williams died in 2014
Not sure why everybody wants Australians bands either. Australia might be the worst producers of music in the world. Our bands stink and always have
Like it or not, the Grand Final is the one day that non-footy fans tune in (and attend), and as the biggest footballing day of the year, it should have a light-and-sound show. Shouting “just play the game” works well for the club diehards on BigFooty, but it’s not going to happen.
Agree completely that it should be an Australian artist. The problem is that - with the lack of radio support for local music - this means either a band that 80% of the crowd won’t know, or some washed up has been who last had success in the early 2000s.

Hard disagree. I know it depends on your preferred genre, but IMO we punch above our weight on quality at least.

Listen, I enjoy a bit of "Let Me Entertain You" as much as the next bloke - but Robbie Williams headlining the AFL Grand Final would be the lamest s**t ever

Is this now the grand final entertainment request thread?
If so, viagra boys:

If they're serious, get the band that has topped the 2022 Billboard charts. Revel in the majesty that is Ghost
You know as well as I do that metal is never going to headline a sports event entertainment program bar perhaps combat sportsIf they're serious, get the band that has topped the 2022 Billboard charts. Revel in the majesty that is Ghost

Why do they insist on getting artists whos music doesn’t even suit the occasion?

I was at that gig. He was brilliant. Possibly the best live performance I've seen ... and I've seen plenty.
Most of the GF performances have been uninspiring. Ed Sheeran ... FFS!! Best one was Hunters & Collectors.
Having said that, I'm old, so perhaps my opinion doesn't count?
