Prior to his performance, Robbie met Jackson and Kiah backstage.
Jackson said it was an 'honour to meet Robbie before the show' in an Instagram post.
'He was kind enough to invite our family and friends to say hello. And it was very special that he started a Warnie chant in the middle of his concert,' he said.
'We had a really fun night. I'll cherish that memory forever.'

Warne died on March 4 at the age of 52 while on holiday with his friends in Koh Samui, Thailand. He died from 'natural causes', an autopsy concluded.
Four friends who were staying with Shane battled to save his life for 20 minutes after he was found unconscious in a villa in their Koh Samui resort.
Thai police said that he was staying in the villa with four friends, and when one of the group tried to wake Shane for food at around 5pm local time he was found to be unresponsive.
