Australian artists Baker Boy and Tash Sultana will be a part of the pre-match entertainment.
Mike Brady will perform ‘Up there Cazaly’ during the retiree motorcade, and Vera Blue will perform the national anthem.
Channel 7 has exclusive rights to the live broadcast, which will start at 2pm ahead of the 2.30pm bounce, but Fox Footy will also broadcast the game on delay – set to start as soon as the final siren sounds.
