The AFL grand final pre-entertainment show will feature an all-Aussie line-up when it goes ahead at the Gabba in Brisbane for the first time ever this month.
It has today been confirmed that Sydney heavyweights DMA'S will headline, alongside Brisbane outfit Cub Sport, Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale, Sheppard, Electric Fields featuring Thelma Plum and Busby Marou and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
Michael Brady will also perform Aussie rules anthem, Up There Cazaly, from the MCG which will be beamed into the Gabba on grand final night.

The acts will be split across pre-game and half-time in an effort "to maximise the new entertainment format in the historic decider".
"On the back of an All-Australian line-up at last year’s Grand Final we know there is incredible support to bring together local talent again this year," AFL's general manager of commercial, Kylie Rogers, said.
"We have some of the best of Australia’s musical talent performing, with a unique sound and collection of voices –from the Torres Strait down to the south-coast – we’re proud to be delivering another All-Australian billing for the 2020 Toyota AFL Grand Final."
It comes after the AFL was criticised for issuing a call-out for volunteer performers, while Powderfinger also revealed last month that they turned down an offer to perform.
The AFL grand final goes ahead on Saturday 24 October.
