After a record-breaking season in which Club membership, attendances and TV viewership reached all-time highs, the biggest day in Australian sport just got bigger with the announcement that GRAMMY® nominated, multi-platinum chart-topping global superstar The Kid LAROI will headline the 2024 NRL and NRLW Telstra Premiership Grand Final Entertainment.
A proud Kamilaroi man and die-hard South Sydney Rabbitohs fan who grew up in Sydney’s southern suburbs, The Kid LAROI most recently released the deluxe version of his hit album, THE FIRST TIME (DELUXE VERSION), which included his latest single “GIRLS”.
The Kid LAROI just completed the North American leg of THE FIRST TIME TOUR, packing venues in 31 cities. This November, he will return to Australia with special guests Quavo and ONEFOUR for a massive arena run.
Bursting onto the scene in 2021, The Kid LAROI’s “Stay” and “Without You” combined boast over four billion streams on Spotify and peaked at no.1 in multiple countries including the US.
National Rugby League CEO Andrew Abdo said The Kid LAROI is an Australian who is now a hugely successful artist making it big on a global stage. His success, passion for Rugby League and global appeal made him the perfect fit to spearhead the 2024 Grand Final Entertainment.
“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.
“He is one of the biggest music stars on the planet, and he also has Rugby League in his DNA having grown up in South Sydney and followed his beloved Rabbitohs from a very young age. He is set to supercharge an unbelievable day of Grand Final football,” Abdo said.
From his current base in Los Angeles, The Kid LAROI said returning home to bring his love of Rugby League and performing live together will be a career highlight.
“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 and 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.”
The 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership and Telstra Women’s Premiership Grand Final is supported by the NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
