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. Tickets are available now via NRL.com/tickets starting from $59 for adults and $189 for families.

After an electric start to the season in Las Vegas, the 2024 NRL season is expected to deliver more excitement and entertainment with the Penrith Panthers vying for the first four-peat in the NRL era, and the first since the legendary St. George Dragons team of the 1950’s and 60’s.
With the NRL growing its audience to international markets both in the US and the Asia-Pacific, a new audience of fans are engaging with our code, and with Sydney as the home of the Grand Final.
In securing the NRL Grand Final, Sydney is further cementing its status as the premier destination and major events capital of the Asia-Pacific. In the past year Sydney has hosted the UFC, FIFA Women’s World Cup™, Harry Styles, Foo Fighters, Elton John, Paul McCartney, P!NK and of course Taylor Swift.
[L-R] NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo, ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys and Minister for Sport The Hon Steve Kamper MP
Premier of NSW Chris Minns said: “NSW is the home of the NRL and there is no better city in the world to host another incredible Grand Final show down. “The NRL Grand Final is one of our countries greatest annual sporting events and I can’t wait for a whole new generation of footy fans to get to experience it right here in NSW.”
Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham said: “The NRL Grand Final is a cornerstone event in Australia’s sporting calendar. “Each year tens of thousands of fans from across the country converge on Sydney to support their teams and community. The NSW Government’s vibrancy reforms support extended trading hours around major events like this.”
Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said: “The NRL has done a fantastic job in promoting and expanding the game to new markets across the US and Asia-Pacific. As such, we need to make sure we cement Sydney’s legacy as the birthplace and home of rugby league. “Given the drama of last year’s Grand Final, I am sure we can expect another full house of 82,500 on Grand Final day.”
ARLC Commission Chair Peter V’landys said: “Confirming the 2024 Grand Final will be held in Sydney provides certainty to NRL clubs, sponsors and broadcasters — but most importantly of all, it’s exciting news for NRL fans. “The NRL and NRLW premiership seasons will culminate at Accor Stadium on 6 October — and we can’t wait to watch it unfold.”
Sydney’s major event venue, Accor Stadium, has been confirmed to host the first Bledisloe Cup Test of 2024 on Saturday, September 21.
Rugby’s biggest annual fixture will see the All Blacks return to Sydney for the first time in four years.
Rugby Australia also announced a further four Tests in Sydney, with Allianz Stadium to host Wallaroos v Canada on May 11, Wallaroos v Fiji and Wallabies v Wales double-header on July 6, and Wallabies v Georgia on July 20.

“It’s particularly pleasing to know we are going to host Test matches in the four largest cities in Australia as we continue to invest in making the game more accessible to more Australians.
“We’re continuing to honour our commitment to grow the women’s game, with the Wallaroos set to play their highest number of Tests on home soil in a calendar year in 2024 against world-class oppositions at first-class stadiums.
