When does the grand finale start before the game, The Kid Laroi performing?

Australian pop sensation The Kid LAROI will be providing the entertainment at the 2024 NRL Grand Final this weekend.

Born in Sydney’s inner west, The Kid LAROI is a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum, chart-topping global superstar who has broken through the American market.

His hit “Stay” reached number one in Australia and America and was number two in the UK.

The 21-year-old’s selection as the NRL’s pre-grand final entertainer is in stark contrast to the AFL, which chose international sensation Katy Perry as its pre-match entertainer.

NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said the artist “embodies the energy, excitement and ambition of rugby league as we celebrate the end of another record-breaking season and look to take rugby league to new heights in the future.”

“He is one of the biggest music stars in the world and he also has rugby league in his DNA, having grown up in South Sydney and following his beloved Rabbitohs from a young age. It will fuel an incredible day of Grand Final football,” said Abdo.
