New Zealand’s Salmonella Dub’s Tiki Taane will be performing at the ‘Thurston Food and Music Festival’ next month.

The event will be held at Suva’s Thurston Garden on July 15 from 9am to 10pm.

Event manager Ellan Kalounisiga said that the artist was expected to perform with 12 Fijian bands.

“We’re just tiding up loose ends, signing our sponsorship deals and now pushing ticket sales,” Ms Kalounisiga said.

She also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Holiday Inn who will be hosting the international artist.

“He is the only international artist who will be taking part at the music festival later next month and he will be staying at Holiday Inn and we thank them for the sponsorship.”

Holiday Inn director of sales and marketing Doreen Huon said: “We are excited to have him here and we are looking forward to the festival.”

Tickets for the show are $20 for 13 hours of nonstop live music.

They can be purchased at the Fiji Broadcasting Corporation Office, Ginger café, Roc Cafe and the ROC Market.

The festival is being organised by FBC, Knox Entertainment, Paradise Beverages and Suva City Council.
