Powderfinger return to Perth sets up looming date clash with Dockers

Key points

• Powderfinger will play two Perth shows during their 2027 reunion tour, on Friday September 24 and Saturday September 25, at Wellington Square in East Perth. Those dates usually fall on the AFL Grand Final, but next year's decider has been moved to October 1.
• The Friday show is therefore almost certain to clash with the AFL preliminary finals, which could overlap with a Fremantle Dockers match at Optus Stadium.
• The two-month tour runs from early September to late October and is the band's first in 17 years.
