Snoop Dogg 'in Love' with Australian Rules Football
Snoop Dogg will perform a 14-minute set with Australian artists for a 100,000-strong crowd as AFL aims to boost star power despite some controversy.
On September 25, 2025, Snoop Dogg will headline the AFL grand final pre-game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the show broadcast live on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
AFL officials point to Snoop's global pedigree, citing his Super Bowl and Olympics shows and a special video pitch featuring Robbie Williams and Katy Perry to secure him this year.
He rehearsed privately at Marvel Stadium on Wednesday using an exact replica of the MCG stage and will perform a 14-minute set with Tash Sultana and Baker Boy.
Public pressure grew over past lyrics and comments as critics cited misogynistic content, and the AFL faced hypocrisy accusations after banning Izak Rankine for four games.
Public transport and airlines have ramped up services for the expected 100,000-strong crowd, with extra V/Line runs, 47 metropolitan train services, and 27 added Qantas and Jetstar flights.
