Grand Final Day - Entertainment
ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park
It's Grand Final Day – the culmination of an action-packed, entertainment filled NRL season – with more than 80,000 fans expected to fill Rugby League HQ at ANZ Stadium.
The day will be a celebration of Rugby League with not only the Telstra Premiership Grand Final but also the NSW Cup and Toyota Cup deciders.
And getting there is so easy – all tickets include free public transport to and from ANZ Stadium for the match.
The NRL has scored a major coup with international singing sensation Kelly Clarkson today announced as the headline entertainment act for the Telstra Premiership Grand Final at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, October 2.
America's first 'Idol', now a recording superstar who has sold over 23 million albums and 36 million singles, Kelly Clarkson will perform her new single, "Mr Know It All" as the main act of the pre-game show. "I'm so excited to be returning to Australia to perform my new single 'Mr Know It All' at the NRL Grand Final next weekend," Kelly said.
As well as pulsating music and dance performances the Telstra Premiership Grand Final will feature a moving tribute to retiring players and the delivery of the Telstra Premiership Trophy via the Telstra Child Flight; the game's ultimate prize will be escorted out of the chopper by the 2011 Telstra Ken Stephen Medallist and the 2011 Toyota Volunteer of the Year winner.
The schedule also features the traditional breathtaking arrival of a Blackhawk helicopter from the Australian Army's 6th Aviation Regiment.
Other highlights on the day will include the Telstra Ring Bearers – junior rugby league players who will present the winning team with their premiership rings – presentation of the Jetstar Club Championship Trophy to the Melbourne Storm; and the Holiday Inn Under-16s Relay Final – a long-standing tradition in the Finals Series and Grand Final.
In 2010 more than 3.1 million viewers across Metropolitan and Regional Australia tuned in to watch the St George Illawarra Dragons defeat the Sydney Roosters 32-8. Who will triumph in 2011? Be there when the fulltime siren sounds!
