NRL grand final pre-game entertainment: Who is performing?
The Kid Laroi will be Sunday's feature act.
The 21-year-old pop and rap star is known for hit songs including 'Without You' and 'Stay', and has collaborated with the likes of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.
There have been hints of a guest appearance from rap group Onefour, although Laroi is currently the only confirmed artist for the NRL pre-game show.
"The Kid Laroi personifies 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 frontiers in the future," NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said.
The Kid Laroi also expressed his excitement about being part of rugby league's biggest game.
"As a young kid growing up in Sydney, I would drive past Rabbitohs training at Redfern Oval dreaming of playing rugby league and making music," he said.
"Now I’m going to have this pinch myself moment of playing my music in front of a roaring crowd of rugby league fans on grand final day. It really doesn’t get much better than that."
