Electro-pop duo Sneaky Sound System will entertain fans at this year’s AFL Gather Round, as some of the last tickets for the footy feast go on sale on Monday.
Lead singer Connie Mitchell and longtime partner Angus McDonald will close the weekend with a pre-match performance on Adelaide Oval prior to the Port Adelaide v Hawthorn clash on Sunday April 13.
They will also perform a set in The Pepsi Collective, an entertainment space in the stadium’s Magarey Room.
Electronic-hip hop duo Hermitude, aka Elgusto and Luke Dubs, will kick off the festival of footy with an on-field performance before the opening match between the Crows and Geelong on Thursday April 10.
The AFL has announced a limited number of tickets in the Pepsi Collective, for each of the five games at Adelaide Oval, will go on sale on Monday from 9am via Ticketek.
The tickets range in price between $99 and $150 and offer access to an outdoor viewing deck, premium level 3 unreserved seating in the Riverbank Stand, live entertainment and DJs, and food and beverages stalls.
Only a small number of Gather Round tickets remain available for the round’s nine matches.
Mitchell, who attended in LIV Golf at Grange Golf Club, said she was thrilled to be playing in Adelaide again.
“Adelaide crowds have always been fun, and we never say no to a game of AFL, so when we got the call-up for Gather Round, there was only ever going to be one answer,” she said.
The AFL’s Bec Haagsma said the Pepsi Collective will be some of Gather Round’s hottest tickets.
“We are so excited to have Sneaky Sound System help close out Gather Round
festivities,” she said.
“Their tunes will get the party going, and we can’t wait to celebrate with their music and a great game of footy on the Sunday ahead of the final game.”
