Global pop music superstar and Aussie icon Kylie Minogue has been chosen as the headline act for this year’s Telstra Pre-Game Entertainment at the 2026 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
The diminutive entertainer has done it all across a career spanning almost five decades – selling over 80 million records worldwide, garnering over five billion streams and collecting a whopping nine #1 Australian albums.
Minogue is an 18-time ARIA Award winner and has also taken home four BRIT Awards, two MTV Awards and two Grammys.
“The AFL Grand Final at Melbourne’s one and only, forever iconic MCG? Yes please!” said Minogue about being asked to perform at this year’s GF. “As a Melburnian, I’m so excited to be coming home for the biggest day in the Aussie sporting calendar. I’ll not only be performing, but I’ll be one of 100,000 fans at the ‘G, watching the wonder that is footy.”
“The Toyota AFL Grand Final is the biggest event on the Australian sporting calendar – and this year, we welcome home an Australian icon.” AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said.
“Kylie has been on our wish list for a long time, and there is no better artist for headline the performance prior to our biggest game of the season.
“Our AFL team recently joined Kylie at the MCG for the Grand Final content shoot, and you could already feel the excitement for September building.”
