Well-known artists Birds of Tokyo, John Butler and Eskimo Joe are among the headline acts for the 2021 AFL Grand Final Entertainment.

Both the pre-game and half-time shows will have a Western Australian flavour, with mostly local artists performing before and during the Melbourne-Western Bulldogs clash.

Eight years after first performing at the Grand Final, WA’s Birds of Tokyo will be part of the half-time show along with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in a show under lights.

Sunset is expected during the second quarter of the Grand Final, meaning the halftime show will be at night.

The pre-game show will begin at 6:15pm EST/4:15pm WST.

Performers include Men at Work lead singer Colin Hay, Indigenous hip hop artist Baker Boy, Eskimo Joe, Abbe May, Stella Donnelly, Gina Williams, Guy Ghouse, Donna Simpson and Vikki Thorn from The Waifs and John Butler (of the self-named Trio).

Mike Brady will perform remotely from Melbourne, just as he did for the 2020 Grand Final.

The Welcome to Country will be conducted by Dr Richard Walley OAM with the Australian national anthem to be performed by musical theatre star Amy Manford.
