Fresh of a record breaking tour with Ed Sheeran, Missy Higgins will perform at Ikon Park before the AFLW Grand Final between the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane on Saturday afternoon.

The Aria Award winner will perform her smash hit Scar and new single Futon Couch.

"I'm thrilled to announce Australian artist Missy Higgins will perform at Saturday's NAB AFL Women's Grand Final, hot off her successful tour with Ed Sheeran that wraps up this week," AFL head of women's football Nicole Livingstone told afl.com.au.

"Ed performed at the 2014 men’s Grand Final, so I hope he's given Missy some tips about performing on one of the AFL's biggest stages come Saturday.

"It's great we've been able to add a performer that is so loved by Australian audiences to the NAB AFL Women's Grand Final Day."

Higgins grew up in Melbourne and says she is excited to be performing at the Grand Final.

"I grew up as a huge footy fan, going to matches all the time, and at one stage I was even the only girl in my primary school footy team, so I'm super-excited and honoured to be playing the AFLW Grand Final," Higgins said.

The match begins at 12:35pm at Ikon Park.

Gates open at 11am for Bulldogs and Lions AFLW members and 11:30am for the general public.
