South Sydney will host their NRL preliminary final at ANZ Stadium next Friday and minor premiers Sydney Roosters will host theirs at Allianz Stadium the following night.

The NRL confirmed the finals week 3 schedule on Thursday, with the Rabbitohs to meet the winner of Friday's semi-final between Manly and Cronulla at ANZ Stadium on Friday, September 27.

The Roosters will play the winner of Saturday's semi between Melbourne and Newcastle at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, September 28.

Heeding criticism of the dearth of entertainment at last weekend's finals double header at Allianz Stadium, the NRL has also booked some headline pre-match entertainment for both preliminary finals.

Award-winning band Grinspoon will perform at ANZ Stadium and indie pop group Sheppard will play at Allianz Stadium.
