AFL Gather Round Live Entertainment Lineup Revealed

DJ Havanh Brown will close out the festival on Sunday night as part of the 2026 Pepsi Collective live entertainment lineup.

Ahead of this year’s Gather Round, the AFL has revealed the lineup for the 2026 Pepsi Collective, held in Adelaide Oval's Magarey Room, which features a range of Aussie artists performing across the weekend.

The live entertainment kicks off Thursday night with Andy Murphy and DJ Piero in the Pepsi Collective, followed by John Course and SGT Slick hitting the decks on Friday before the Collingwood v Fremantle clash.

“Stoked to be back at Adelaide Oval for my third Gather Round, and to be performing at The Pepsi Collective,” said Murphy. “It gets bigger every year — an absolute spectacle that perfectly blends sport, culture and music. Not only will I be checking out a few footy games, I'm planning to hit some new restaurants and sneak out to the wineries too — can't wait.”

Next up on Saturday is Andrew Loadsman alongside a slew of talented local artists bringing the tunes to the exclusive space during the Melbourne and Essendon match, before Australian DJ and producer Cyril brings the night to an end.

“There are three things I'm looking forward to during the Gather Round,” said Cyril. “Watching the footy, DJing (of course) and a nice meat pie.”

Iconic Australian DJ Havana Brown will close out the 2026 Pepsi Collective on Sunday night with what promises to be an energetic dancefloor-filling set.

The Pepsi Collective is an elevated match day offering at Adelaide Oval, which has become one of the most sought-after tickets for Gather Round fans, over the age of 18, to experience a game of footy like never before.

AFL Executive General Manager of Consumer and Commercial Bec Haagsma said the artists will excite fans at Gather Round and in the Pepsi Collective come April.

“We are so excited to have some of Australia's best DJs come together in the Pepsi Collective to bring the party to the 2026 AFL Gather Round,” Haagsma said.

“The Pepsi Collective is one of the hottest tickets for Gather Round and with these announcements, including Cyril and Havana Brown, we encourage fans to not miss out and get their tickets to experience the Pepsi Collective for themselves.”

PepsiCo ANZ Beverages General Manager, Mette Hylleberg, said The Pepsi Collective's return reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to showing up in meaningful and memorable ways for AFL fans.

“Following the incredible response last year, we're proud to bring The Pepsi Collective back to the AFL in partnership with Asahi Beverages.”

“Gather Round is all about celebrating the game and its fans, and we're excited to evolve the experience with fresh elements that make it even more immersive and engaging. We're always looking for new ways to connect people with our brands, and this year's Collective will deliver exactly that,” Hylleberg said.

Those with tickets to the Pepsi Collective have access to lounges and bars overlooking Adelaide's city skyline, plus a birds-eye view of the on-field action from the seating bays on Level 3, along with a purpose-built outdoor viewing deck thanks to Pepsi.

A host of premium food, beverage and entertainment will be available for eventgoers to enjoy with friends, all whilst witnessing the action on the field from one of Adelaide Oval's best locations.

Thursday night is sold out, with limited tickets remaining to the Pepsi Collective for all other matches here.
