Snoop Dogg's energetic pre-game show helped the Brisbane Lions win the 2025 AFL Grand Final amid widespread praise.

Snoop Dogg's high-energy pre-game show at the 2025 AFL Grand Final, featuring local artists and fireworks, drew widespread acclaim despite past controversies, with the Brisbane Lions defeating the Geelong Cats. The NRL Grand Final on October 5 is set to feature country singer Teddy Swims, though his participation is uncertain due to reported vocal health concerns. Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino claims concert tickets are undervalued, contradicting rising prices and dynamic pricing that challenge affordability. Meanwhile, Australian artists including Ninajirachi, Thelma Plum, and Amyl and the Sniffers lead the upcoming ARIA Awards nominations.
