  • Primanavia – Fiji’s award-winning choir, combining classical choral excellence with rich Pacific traditions.
  • Georgina Ledua – one of Fiji’s most beloved vocalists and songwriters.

From 1:50pm, enjoy a spectacular Fijian Cultural Showcase on the pitch, featuring warrior dancers, traditional meke performers, lali drummers, an authentic Fijian choir and live music from some of Fiji’s most celebrated artists.
