Virgin Australia Premiership Party
When the AFL Grand Final is done and dusted, The Killers will take to the ground for a free gig at the MCG.
Overview
Music fans have a reason to get excited for this year's AFL Grand Final celebrations, and that reason is The Killers. That's right — the US rock legends behind tunes like 'Somebody Told Me' and 'Mr Brightside' have confirmed they'll be making the trip Down Under, tasked with serenading the country from the hallowed turf of the MCG for the pre-game show at this year's Grand Final clash.
What's more, you won't even need to battle it out for a ticket to the footy to see them, with the band revealing they'll also be performing at a free post-game gig. They're one of the acts set to light up the stage at the Virgin Australia Premiership Party, a free concert held at the stadium on Grand Final evening, which is Saturday, September 30. Doors to the MCG are set to open at 6pm — you might want start lining up now to secure your spot. Access to the show is via MCG Gates four, five and six, from 6pm.
