The AFL’s Foxtel Footy Festival Underway
September 28, 2016 - October 2, 2016
To celebrate Melbourne’s biggest annual sporting event, Foxtel is combining everything we love about AFL with everything we love about Melbourne, and treating fans to a free four-day festival outside the MCG at Yarra Park. The festival brings together a huge range of activities including AFL player appearances, movie screenings, food and drink, live music and much, much more.
The Toyota AFL Grand Final Live Site will be the heart of the festival. Head to this area for hours of entertainment including the chance to meet current and past legends of the game, win prizes and admire an impressive collection of more than 100 past Premiership Cups.
Australian hip-hop artist Illy will be headlining the 2016 AFL Grand Final Eve free concert at the Foxtel Footy Festival, which kicks off from 5pm on Friday September 30. The platinum-selling artist, who says he’d “love to see the Bulldogs win the flag this year”, will be performing hits as well as his new chart-topping single, ‘Papercuts’ featuring Vera Blue.
