G Flip’s Hot Run: Airplay to the AFL Final

Ava Taylor 09/25/2026

When the AFL’s 2026 Grand Final Day arrives, the entertainment is set to be nothing short of electric, and the spotlight is firmly on the rising star, G Flip. The singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist is gearing up to deliver the pre-game entertainment at the imposing Melbourne Cricket Ground, where the reigning champion Brisbane Lions will clash with the Fremantle Dockers.

This monumental occasion provides a perfect stage for an artist who has already carved out a massive, undeniable presence in the music world. G Flip is entering the arena with a track that has not only dominated charts but has become a genuine cultural phenomenon.

At the heart of this success is the track “Bed On Fire”. Ignited by a powerful television sync in May for Amazon’s hit series Off Campus, the song exploded into national consciousness. It quickly claimed prized spots on the national airplay charts, launching G Flip into various high-profile music rankings, including the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.

The momentum behind “Bed On Fire” is staggering. It has become the longest-running Australian No. 1 APC single on radio this year, a testament to its infectious appeal. The track has amassed over 67 million total streams and is certified gold in Australia, demonstrating incredible listener engagement. Radio representatives for Sony Music Australia’s team noted that the song is generating immense energy, peaking at nearly 982,000 plays per day.

This recent triumph is part of a prolific career where G Flip has consistently delivered high-impact work. Earlier radio successes, such as “Disco Cowgirl,” solidified their status as one of Australia’s most broadly played radio singles, spinning across more than 138 stations.

Beyond singles, G Flip has also established themselves as an award-winning artist. In 2023, the artist secured an ARIA No. 1 album with DRUMMER and earned two ARIA Awards. Their third studio album, Dream Ride, further cemented their success, peaking at No. 4 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

The demand for G Flip’s talent extends beyond music. The artist has performed at major national events, including a mini-set at the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup Closing Ceremony at the Stadium Australia in Sydney, showcasing their ability to command a stadium audience.

Now, having completed a mid-summer lap of North America, G Flip is set to flex their considerable talent once again at the biggest venue in the land: the MCG. Joining Michael Paynter and Mike Brady in the pre-game lineup, they prepare to share the stage alongside headliner Kylie Minogue.

It is a moment where the energy of the music meets the roar of the crowd, offering football fans a chance to experience the raw, compelling talent of G Flip live at the heart of the nation.
