“Not only is it going to be a huge clash against our cross-town rivals, but a great celebration of Indigenous culture as part of First Nations Round.
“We want this to be a showpiece event on the fixture and having an artist of Baker Boy’s calibre performing on the night certainly helps add to that.
“Providing the best entertainment experience for our fans is really important to us and we look forward to welcoming plenty of people to our games this summer for a great show on and off the field.”
