Kobie Dee to Headline A-League Grand Final

Kobie Dee, a Sydney-based artist from Bidjigal Land, will headline the Isuzu UTE A-League 2026 Grand Final. This performance will be his debut at a major national sporting event, scheduled for the weekend of May 23/24, 2026. The announcement follows the recent release of his new single, "Aim For The Stars."

This energetic track has been selected as the official sync for the competition's Finals campaign and is featured in current advertisements. Dee expressed his hope that the song inspires listeners, particularly young people, to believe that no dream is too big and that they can achieve success in any field.

"Aim For The Stars" was a collaborative effort, with Dee working alongside producer NERVE and artists WYES, GENE, and SMAK. Dee described the songwriting process as fluid and inspired. He also highlighted the significant creative talent within Indigenous communities, which can flourish in both music and sports.

In 2025, Kobie Dee experienced significant career growth. He received a nomination for the NSW Music Prize and performed at the ARIA Awards alongside other notable artists. Additionally, he established Twenny47 Studios, a creative hub aimed at supporting and mentoring emerging First Nations artists in his community.

Kobie Dee's music has garnered over 80 million streams, and he has performed at major festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Listen Out, and Spilt Milk. He has also collaborated with brands such as Lacoste and GQ. The location for the A-League final is yet to be determined, with tickets going on sale on Monday, May 18, 2026. The official music video for "Aim For The Stars" is expected later in May 2026.
