Peking Duk deny NRL grand final performance despite rumored lineup

Peking Duk have denied rumours they will perform at tonight's NRL grand final, despite being linked to the pre-show entertainment lineup. The electronic duo announced on Instagram hours before kickoff that they were never contacted by the NRL. The pair, Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, jokingly listed three theories for their absence, including their 2018 State of Origin performance and not playing Tones and I's hit "Dance Monkey." They stated the main reason was they "never got the call-up" and are actually performing in Cairns tonight. The denial follows a chaotic lead-up to the event, with Tones and I pulling out and NRL boss Peter V'landys initially scrapping entertainment before promising a "big surprise." Amy Shark has seemingly confirmed her involvement, while a tribute to Jai Arrow is also planned.
