The Snoop Dogg reveal comes off the back of a string of big-name international acts starring as entertainment on AFL Grand Final Day, with Katy Perry wowing the crowd last year, while Robbie Williams, Kiss and The Killers have also all featured on the line-up.

Groups fighting to end violence against women say the rapper is a “dangerous” choice of headline act for the pre-game entertainment.
