Andrew Johns calls for Silverchair reunion at Knights Grand Final

Andrew Johns has urged iconic Newcastle band Silverchair to reunite for a performance at the NRL Grand Final on Sunday, October 1. The appeal follows the NRL's entertainment plans with Tones and I falling through. Johns, a Knights legend, believes Silverchair's presence would enhance the occasion as Newcastle prepares for its first Grand Final in 25 years. He humorously recounted a previous celebration that involved frontman Daniel Johns. Drummer Ben Gillies and bassist Chris Joannou expressed willingness to perform, but it's unclear if Daniel Johns will join. The Knights' supporters are expected to turn out in large numbers at Accor Stadium, with a recent preliminary final seeing 57,000 fans in attendance.
