The Kid LAROI, a chart-topping sensation, proud Kamilaroi man and South Sydney Rabbitohs superfan, is about to have one of his dreams come true.
It was announced yesterday (4 September) that he would headline this year’s NRL and NRLW Telstra Premiership Grand Final Entertainment. Both events will take place on Sunday, 6 October, at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.
In a statement, National Rugby League CEO Andrew Abdo addressed The Kid LAROI’s passion for the NRL and global appeal and how those factors make him the perfect fit to provide the NRL and NRLW 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,” Abdo said.
“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.”
The Kid LAROI outlined just how special the experience is for him by adding, “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.”

Last month, The Kid LAROI announced his Australian tour (after postponing a previous run due to take place in February) in support of his album, THE FIRST TIME. Big-name special guests, including American star Quavo and Western Sydney’s ONEFOUR, will open the shows.
In a glowing review of THE FIRST TIME, The Music’s Claire Dunton stated that LAROI “feels and sounds like a real, honest talent that you can’t help but back as an Australian” and “has perfectly executed the ever-popular ‘90s aesthetic”.
