Joining the entertainment lineup will be Teddy Swims, the multi-platinum selling, Grammy award-winning superstar. Catch him live at Accor Stadium this Sunday for what’s bound to be an unforgettable show! The event almost always draws a record crowd, and this year’s decider is set up for a classic Melbourne-Brisbane showdown – with the premiership title on the line. Swims has an astonishing 42 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Since the Queen’s passing, Kreelus has shared his excitement of performing this historic to him, a “huge honour.”
Swims was incredibly passionate throughout his performance last Friday. Worry set in when he suddenly walked off stage, later sharing that he’d been battling an illness. In his announcement, he told fans that his doctor had not yet cleared him to sing, requiring a quick recovery period.
In a heartfelt message to his supporters, he said, “I hate to disappoint you and truly apologise for letting you down. Thank you for your love, patience, and understanding.” Fans are showing their support for the artist with amazing fervor. Boasting more than eight million Instagram followers, he is known for his record-breaking, chart-topping history. “Lose Control” gained over two billion streams and made the longest history on the Hot 100 of all times.
As the clock ticks down to Sunday, Swims has assured fans of his commitment to deliver an unforgettable performance. “I can’t wait until I’m back and able to sing for you again,” he stated. His presence alone promises to take the atmosphere of one of Australia’s largest sporting nights to another level.
NRL Chairman Peter V’landys insisted that only a world class act was good enough for the grand final. He drew parallels between Swims and major entertainment acts to underscore their importance. That wasn’t really good enough, so we needed to do better. We really brought a singer in for real, none of that doof, doof sh-t. This bloke can actually sing,” V’landys remarked.
As the world awaits the final battle to determine the champion, all eyes are on his performance. Audiences are in for an electrifying night of action sports and entertainment that they can’t afford to miss!
