Snoop Dogg's 2025 Grand Final performance was an overwhelming success, but footage has showed technical difficulties right before the show nearly created a disaster for Andrew Dillon and the AFL.
The high-profile rapper lived up to his multi-million dollar price tag, delivering a performance that was celebrated by the majority of fans.
But footage has emerged showing the 53-year-old's microphone was undergoing some troubles, just seconds before he was due to hit the stage.
A video captioned "Moments from disaster woweeeeeeeee" posted to Back to the Bench's Facebook page, shows technicians working desperately to fix the issues.

"I was right there filming this also. I was freaking out what would happen if they couldn’t get the tech to work!!!" commented one person.
Fortunately, Snoop powered through to deliver his performance, but he wasn't the only one experiencing the technical issues.
Legendary singer Mike Brady was unable to hear his audio track as he belted out his iconic song, 'Up There Cazaly.'
Mike Brady is a star.

Nails the performance despite audio track sound issues.
Singing "I need to hear the track" as you get into the chorus is a boss move.
60 years ago this month, he knocked the Beatles off the No.1 chart. Absolutely icon. #aflgf https://t.co/md8vzIlPSG
