Ten bands and four dance groups will participate in the Corona Uprising Festival of Music, Dance and Lights in Pacific Harbour.

Uprising General Manager James Pridgeon says the event puts Pacific Harbour on the map for both locals and tourists.

“We would like to continue to grow this event to be the biggest of music festivals that Fiji has seen and hopefully we can continue with the passion in the years to come to showcase Fiji’s talent.”

Local bands like Makare, Inside Out and artists from Jamaica, Canada, France and Australia and New Zealand are scheduled to perform at the festival in November.
