A line-up of Aussie stars will join pop princess Kylie Minogue for the pre-game AFL grand final entertainment.

Rock artist G Flip will kick off proceedings with an opening set, while singer Michael Paynter is performing the national anthem and long-time favourite Mike Brady will belt out his famous hit Up There Cazaly.

“It’s crazy being on the same bill as Kylie, she’s an absolute icon,’’ said G Flip, who performed at the 2022 grand final.

“I just remember being in primary school and looking up to Kylie. It made me feel like the crazy dreams I had as a kid could be more attainable.

“I can’t wait to see her again and I have a feeling this show is going to be huge.”

Paynter, who will play John Farnham on stage later this year, said it’s an honour to perform the anthem at the grand final for the first time.

“I’m pumped, it’s a beautiful song and a beautiful moment, I’m repping the musical heartbeat of the country,’’ he said.

“I did it for the Sydney cricket test last year and I’ve done it at a prelim.

“I don’t really think about who’s listening, I just think about what I’m singing.”

Brady said he’s back after 47 years and couldn’t be more proud.

“It’s always exciting, it’s the highlight of my year,’’ he said.

“It’s got more exciting as the years have rolled on.

“I’m very lucky that I get asked to do it, it’s a bloody long time.

“I love the fact the public embrace it and it still feels relevant.

“I admire Kylie very much, she’s done incredibly well.

“It’s an All-Australian line-up. A lot of people have been asking for that for a long time.”

AFL Executive General Manager Customer, Commercial and Technology Bec Haagsma said the three additions completed a uniquely Australian entertainment line-up befitting the biggest day on the Australian sporting calendar.

“The Toyota AFL Grand Final is a celebration of our game and its place in Australian culture, and we’re delighted to welcome G Flip, Michael Paynter and Mike Brady to

this year’s Telstra Pre-Game Entertainment line-up,’’ she said.

“G Flip has had a huge year taking their music and unmistakeable energy to the world, and we’re thrilled to welcome them home to light up the MCG on Grand Final Day.

“Michael Paynter is a remarkable vocalist who will deliver one of the day’s most important moments with the National Anthem, while Mike Brady’s Up There Cazaly remains synonymous with footy and Grand Final Day.”
