Delta Goodrem to perform with Robbie Williams at the AFL Grand Final

 

 

It’s going to be a huge afternoon of early-2000s nostalgia: Delta Goodrem will be joining Robbie Williams on stage during the pre-game entertainment for Saturday’s AFL Grand Final. The news was confirmed at a media call on Thursday afternoon, after weeks of rumours regarding a surprise guest act. Williams himself announced the news, calling Goodrem “the loveliest person – both inside and out; beautiful and incredibly talented”. Goodrem then walked out on to the field with a Sherrin, firing off a perfect kick to AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan while wearing hot pink heels. This comes just a couple of weeks after Goodrem performed the national anthem at the Brisbane v Melbourne semi-final to much acclaim. It has, however, come as a bit of a surprise as many fans were expecting Williams to announce Kylie Minogue as his special guest. The Australian icon famously collaborated with the singer on their 2000 hit Kids. And the potential reunion was first teased a few weeks ago when, speaking to The Fox Melbourne, Williams invited the pop star to join him when casually prompted by the breakfast radio hosts.

 

“I need to ask her,” he said. “Maybe I should do that on this radio show right here, right now. Kylie, please come and sing with me. I’d love it if you did.”

The speculation then reached a peak on Tuesday morning when McLachlan got involved. When SEN broadcaster Gerard Whateley asked him if Minogue would make an appearance, McLachlan – an otherwise composed and articulate speaker – responded with a long pause. “Ummm... No, I don’t know,” he said. “OK there’s a surprise, we’ll see. There is a surprise. That’s all I can say, and he will be joined.” Barring any last-minute surprises on the day, it now looks likely he was referring to Goodrem – though it’s not yet clear what the pairing will look like.

 

Robbie Williams’ 19-minute pre-game performance will feature songs spanning his three-decade career, as well as one unknown song from another artist (a fact he revealed earlier this month). Other entertainment on the day includes Australian acts G Flip, The Temper Trap (featuring Budjerah and Ngaiire), Goanna (featuring Christine Anu, Emma Donovan, Tasman Keith and William Barton) and Mike Brady. The latter, of course, will be singing his 1979 classic Up There Cazaly – a tradition which has continued through the pandemic, with Brady performing the song at an empty MCG in both 2020 and 2021.

 

With the big dance returning to Melbourne this year, the AFL is certainly keen to put on a big show and Robbie and Delta seem like a good bet to deliver.

Top top top Robbie!!

 

I checked Twitter and everybody praised him for that performance.

He stealed the show.

And yes, another 100 000 audience for him!

 

Happy for him!

Hope so. Delta is also amazing . He definitely went for it. I heard him say during the week that the AFL are really hard to please so he upped his game for sure & of course he had to sell his upcoming tour . Hope it goes well for him. When he's on top form he is amazing ..

Doing a 20 min slot like that is very different from what he would do at one of his normal gigs where he has 2 hours to go through the show at his own pace, he dug deep & put on an amazing performance . Well done Rob
