Fallout with star leaves NRL with no pre-game entertainment for grand final
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported58m ago
The National Rugby League (NRL) grand final will proceed without pre-match entertainment following the collapse of negotiations with Australian artist Tones and I. The cancellation leaves the event without a headline performer for the upcoming decider.
The absence of a major act highlights a contrast in event planning compared to the Australian Football League (AFL), which has secured Kylie Minogue to perform at its own grand final. The NRL has not announced any replacement entertainment for the scheduled pre-game slot.
