If you’re one of the countless humans who fell deeper and deeper into sadness with the knowledge that they missed out on the earth-shattering experience that is seeing Gang Of Youths live (who knew that sold-out concert tickets had the capacity to render a grown adult useless as they wept), there’s no need to let you down easy.
There’s a big, fat, NRL-shaped beacon of light on your horizon. With the Melbourne Storm facing off against the Sydney Roosters in the NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final this weekend, you wouldn’t have thought there was anything to ramp up the excitement levels even more. In fact, your faces are probs already smeared with zinc in your team’s colours as your jerseys proudly hang waiting to pop down to ANZ Stadium.
BUT HOLD YOUR DANG HORSES.
Even if you’re not as footy-mad as your mates, there’s one seriously good reason to head down on Sunday to check it out. Ticket allocations to see the Gang of Youths concerts in NSW are completely exhausted (personally I’m still recovering from the pain), but the blessed band of musical angels was officially announced as the headliner for the highly-anticipated conclusion of the 2018 NRL season.
And seriously, we aren’t kidding when we say this could literally be your only chance to catch the boys live this year – even availability in Melbourne is limited to a handful of mega exxy tickets that dwindle on a daily basis. So you could miss out on this heavenly wonderfulness if you don’t get tix:

Honestly any chance we can take to hear the voice of our one true love, David Le’aupepe, we’ll take it (and he’ll still be in fine form, even if his beloved Rabbitohs were knocked out just last week).
So not only will you be getting to see one of Australia’s most popular homegrown bands of the past few years, but you also get to cop a tense and exciting game of footy as well. That’s two massive events for the price of one, friends.
Head HERE for tickets and head down to ANZ Stadium on the 30th of September. Gates open at 1.30pm with the pre-game show kicking off at 6.30pm (after the Women’s Premiership and Super State Championship Grand Final).
