THIS year's Grand Final entertainment will have a homegrown feel, after Australian rockers Hunters and Collectors and Birds of Tokyo were announced as headline acts.

Hunters and Collectors, whose hit Holy Grail has become synonymous with football's biggest day, will re-form to take the stage at the MCG on September 28.

The group, whose other classics include Throw Your Arms Around Me and When The River Runs Dry, will play a set during the Virgin Australia half-time break.

Birds of Tokyo, whose hit Lanterns has taken the charts by storm, will take the stage prior to the first bounce, before the bands both perform at The Premiership Club after the game.

The emerging Birds of Tokyo hail from Perth, and released their No.1 ARIA album March Fires this year.

Hunters and Collectors formed in 1981 and between 1986-94 were one of the country's biggest and best live acts.

The bands were officially unveiled on Monday as the AFL launched the 2013 finals series.
