The ABK Beer Rugby League Ashes Series is almost upon us, starting with the first test at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 25 October (KO 2:30pm).
With just a month to go until the opening test, RL Commercial can today confirm an exciting schedule of entertainment that will kick-off the historic series.
Bringing the energy is go-to hype DJ Tony Perry. Perry is synonymous with Wembley Stadium having DJ’d for England football and England Rugby Six Nations amongst countless other blockbuster events. He has previously curated special match day mixes, including for the Rugby League World Cup back in 2021, and is ready to launch the Ashes series with a new, unique mix for all ages.
Returning to the Wembley stage is Laura Wright who will sing England’s National Anthem at all three England v Australia Ashes games this Autumn.
Wright, one of the world’s leading classical artists, is no stranger to the world of Rugby League having performed at the Super League Grand Final for almost a decade. She has featured at numerous other major sporting events, including the recent NFL London series and the Invictus Games. Singing the Australian National Anthem is Australian-French mezzo-soprano Rebecca Hart.
Hosting the event is the voice of Rugby League, Pete Nuttall, who will be joined by Rich Williams who can be heard across Virgin Radio UK. Williams brings vast experience to the team having hosted various major sporting events, including the Rugby League World Cup and Women’s Euros.
Rivalries will be reignited when England take on Australia in the ABK Beer Rugby League Ashes next month. The two nations will meet in a three-match test series over 20 years in the making and with the second and third test completely SOLD OUT; Wembley Stadium on Saturday 25 October is your only place to watch this fierce rivalry live!
