There was a third party involved; that third party is no longer involved, 1753400953 it\u2019s all in-house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"max-w-xs pt-2 lg:max-w-none lg:text-xl\">Don&#8217;t miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Reports have surfaced on Facebook that Snoop Dogg will perform with Dr Dre and Ice Cube in the Philippines on Thursday, 25 September, but no mention of said show is linked on the venue\u2019s website. But it was a show that Stevenson cited, adding that if Snoop Dogg were in the Philippines, it made his potential appearance at the Grand Final more likely, as he\u2019d only be an eight-hour flight away from Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Katy Perry headlined the AFL Grand Final pre-game entertainment, while KISS performed in 2023 and Robbie Williams performed in 2022. At the time of publication, the AFL hasn\u2019t confirmed who will headline this year\u2019s AFL Grand Final pre-game entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Snoop Dogg appeared at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, sharing the stage in a greatest of hip-hop performance with Dr Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem.<\/p>\n<p>Snoop Dogg last toured Australia in March 2023. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/themusic.com.au\/reviews\/snoop-dogg-rod-laver-arena\/AOS-EhUUFxY\/06-03-23\">Reviewing his show<\/a> at Melbourne\u2019s Rod Laver Arena, The Music\u2019s Madison Thomas declared, \u201cFrom the second Snoop takes the stage, all 6\u20193 of him, he does not take his foot off the gas. Every song is a highlight because his solo music is infinitely beloved, and his choice of collaborations has led to some of the most iconic releases in the last 30 years.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More Snoop Dogg We\u2019re approximately two months away from the AFL Grand Final, and so the rumour mill&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19739,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-19738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
