Silverchair & the Newcastle Knights

To celebrate the Knights making their first NRL grand final in 25 years. All NRL fans & novocastrians call on PVL & the NRL to parachute in international rock heavy hitters Silverchair to headline the 2026 NRL Grand Final entertainment. 

Daniel, Chris and Ben it’s time to dust of the Soldano’s, Marshalls, and Pearl kit.

Silverchair, formed in 1992, has left an indelible mark not only on Australian music but globally. With albums like 'Frogstomp,' 'Freak Show,' and 'Diorama,' they've sold over 10 million records worldwide and won 21 ARIA awards—more than any other artist. Their impact on the rock scene is undeniable, with hits that combine powerful lyrics, compelling melodies, and a raw energy that would perfectly amplify the excitement and passion of an NRL Grand Final.

Traditionally, NRL Grand Final entertainment has highlighted Australia's diverse and rich musical talents, yet there's been a desire for acts that truly connect with the audience on both a national and personal level—Silverchair fits this bill impeccably. Their potential return to the stage at such a significant national event would rekindle the love for their timeless music and unify fans across different regions and generations. It's more than just nostalgia; it's a celebration of Australian culture, identity, and the unique spirit of the NRL.

To make this vision a reality, we need your support. Let’s rally together as fans, proud novocastrians, and passionate followers of the NRL. We call upon the NRL events committee and Silverchair to consider this petition seriously and make 2026 an unforgettable year for all. Let Silverchair rock the stage and give fans the performance of a lifetime. Please sign this petition to show your support and make our dream a reality!
