Snoop Dogg to head Down Under for 2025 AFL grand final performance at Melbourne Cricket Ground
Get your smoke machines ready, Snoop Dogg is headlining the AFL 2025 grand final entertainment. The AFL announced on Tuesday the Gin And Juice star was headlining the Telstra pre-game grand final entertainment at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, after rumours swirled he'd been locked in to perform. In a message to fans ahead of the performance, Snoop said 'let's make it unforgettable'. 'It's an absolute honour to be hitting the stage at the AFL grand final — it's one of the biggest events on the Aussie calendar,' he said. 'Can't wait to bring the energy and celebrate with the fans.' AFL chief executive Andrew Dillion said 'Snoop Dogg is a pioneer, a performer, and a true entertainer'. 'The AFL grand final is the biggest event on the Australian sporting calendar — and this year, it just got a whole lot bigger,' he said. 'He's played to packed stadiums around the world — but we think 100,000 fans at the MCG might just be his most iconic crowd yet. 'We want grand final day to be an unforgettable celebration of footy — and beyond the four quarters of the match, a celebration of culture, energy, and entertainment. 'Snoop fits that brief better than anyone.' 'From Long Beach to the biggest stage in Australian sport — Snoop Dogg is coming to the MCG for the Telstra pre-game entertainment, and we're ready to make history.' Snoop headlined the 2022 Super Bowl LVI halftime show with hip-hop greats Dr Dre, Eminem, Mary J Blige and Kendrick Lamar. The 53-year-old has launched cannabis products, both for recreational and medicinal use, with his fondness of the drug shared to millions of fans on Instagram often. He also held the Olympic torch during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Snoop toured Australia in 2023 for his I Wanna Thank Me tour. Rumours swirled Snoop was headlining the grand final after Melbourne radio host Ross Stevenson told 3AW's Rumour File 'it had been suggested' the 53-year-old would headline the game at the MCG on September 27. 'It has been suggested to me that the grand final entertainment this year will be Snoop Dogg,' he said. Mr Dillon was quick to dismiss the rumours at a press conference in the following days. Katy Perry headlined last year's show while KISS and John Farnham took to the stage in earlier years.

‘We all make mistakes in life' – Snoop Dogg forgiven by Swansea chief for huge blunder before takeover
SWANSEA stars are dreaming of downing cocktails with Snoop Dogg and Luka Modric at their favourite haunt Gin & Juice. The American rapper and the former Real Madrid superstar this summer bought stakes in the Championship club who kick off their campaign at Middlesbrough today. 3 3 3 And Snoop Dogg — whose hits include Gin & Juice — and Milan playmaker Modric have promised to pay visits to South Wales and are invited to tag along to the posh seaside cocktail bar that overlooks Swansea Bay. A Swans insider told SunSport: 'The players love going to Gin & Juice after a win — and Snoop Dogg and Luca are invited to join. 'It's so uncanny we have a bar here that happens to share the same name as one of Snoop's biggest hits. It must have been written in the stars he'd turn out to be a Swan.' Meanwhile, the club are set to open their own pub in the city centre this autumn called The Swansea Jack — and are launching a beer in association with Snoop Dogg called 'Drop It Like It's Hops.' It is a pun on his 2004 hit Drop It Like It's Hot. The stars' involvement has captured the city's imagination and the club even commissioned local artist Hasan Kamil to paint a mural of the rapper inside the stadium. Swansea join Welsh rivals Wrexham and Birmingham in sprinkling celebrity stardust on the Championship this season. And with bitter rivals Cardiff relegated to League One, they have four other huge matches to look forward to. Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds' Red Dragons travel down from North Wales on Friday December 19 with the return at the Racecourse on Saturday, March 14. NFL legend Tom Brady's Birmingham entertain the Swans on Saturday September 20 with the corresponding game in Wales on Saturday January 17. And Snoop Dogg has been forgiven by the club for wearing a Cardiff shirt during a visit to the Welsh capital back in 2011. Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd reveals HUGE US rap star sent cast a surprise on 50th anniversary Swans CEO Tom Gorringe laughed: 'We all make mistakes in life. What is important is you learn from them. He has found the right shirt to wear now! 'Everyone at the club is excited because with one of world football's biggest icons and Snoop Dogg's huge global pulling power, the opportunity that presents to this club is endless.'
