AFL grand final 2025: Rumours swirl that rock band The Foo Fighters could be playing at the MCG
It is rumoured that the 2025 AFL grand final entertainment could be American rock band The Foo Fighters. Triple M's Mark 'Roo' Ricciuto said he received the tip from someone in 'AFL circles' during the Rumour Mill segment on Wednesday morning. 'A little birdie let it slip to me in AFL circles in the last couple days, that the Foo Fighters might be the entertainment for the 2025 grand final,' Roo told his co-hosts Ditts and Loz. 'Now it's not a done deal, I haven't investigated, I haven't even looked at whether they're a chance of being here. 'This is not 100% but it's a bloody good chance.' However, Loz did some digging and discovered the band had plans to perform in Singapore a week after the grand final on September 27. The Foo Fighters also announced a 2025 world tour but have not released their Australia dates. 'The Foo Fighters are gonna be playing the Singapore Grand Prix a week after the AFL grand final, so they're going to be in the southern hemisphere and then they're going to be doing a world tour later on,' Loz said. She mentioned that Robbie Williams, who dazzled fans at the 2022 grand final, kicked off his tour shortly after his MCG performance, suggesting the rockers might take a similar approach. 'When Robbie Williams came and did the grand final he had a tour following that and was pushing tickets towards that, so, it's a way of getting people excited,' Loz added. Last year, American pop-princess Katy Perry delivered an electrifying performance for a roaring grand final crowd. She entered the turf on a metallic car for her 17-minute set which included a cameo from Australian icon Tina Arena.
