AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has confirmed on Friday that the Black Eyed Peas and Jimmy Barnes will be performing at the 2018 AFL Grand Final.
McLachlan confirmed the news on radio station 3AW on Friday morning. "So Black Eyed Peas and Jimmy pre-match, and Jimmy post-match," McLachlan said. "They're a big deal, Black Eyed Peas." The Black Eyed Peas, who have won six Grammy Awards, have not performed in Australia since 2009. They will also be performing without singer Fergie, who left the group last year. "We are honoured to be heading to Melbourne to perform at the AFL Grand Final day," the Black Eyed Peas said. "This is the biggest day in Australian sport, so we will be pulling out all the stops for this special performance." Jimmy Barnes, an Australian icon, will be performing in the Virgin Australia Pre-Game show and the Premiership Party, which is a free concert that kicks off at 7pm. "I'm looking forward to singing at one of the world's greatest sporting events," Barnes said. "It's going to be a huge day on the ground at the MCG. It doesn't get bigger than this, 100,000 passionate football fans and rock 'n' roll will be a great mix." Barnes' daughter, Mahalia Barnes will be performing the national anthem.
