Pacific’s biggest lineup lands in Nadi this weekend

The stage is taking shape at King Charles Park as preparations intensify for Homecoming 2025, with international artists already arriving for what organisers say will be the Pacific’s biggest lineup yet.

The three-day festival runs in Nadi from this Friday to Sunday.

Event Director Moe Coffey said preparations are on track, with the festival team working day and night to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime event.

“Progress is going really well. Our dedicated team is working around the clock to deliver an unforgettable experience for our Brother George ‘Fiji’ Veikoso and everyone attending Homecoming 2025,” Mr Coffey said.

Tickets are in high demand following two successful pop-up sales in Suva. They are now available at the Beach Club Wailoaloa from 8am–5pm daily until Thursday, September 4.

Organisers are urging fans to buy early to secure the lowest price and avoid the long queues experienced last year.

Festival highlights include:

• Three themed days encouraging fans to dress up and showcase their creativity:
• • Friday, Sept 5 – Roots, Reggae, Rhythm: Red, gold and green reggae vibes.
  • Saturday, Sept 6 – Country Styles: Western-inspired outfits.
  • Sunday, Sept 7 – Island Vibez: A vibrant tribute to Fijian and Pacific Island culture.
• Made in Fiji Makete, a marketplace featuring 14 food vendors and stalls selling local crafts, open from 11am daily and accessible to non-ticket holders.
• Official festival merchandise, including the George Fiji Tribute t-shirt, available exclusively at the event.
• Festival gates open at 1pm daily, with full artist set times to be released next week.

Homecoming 2025 is being billed as more than just a concert, it will be a cultural celebration of music, fashion, food and community spirit in honour of the late George “Fiji” Veikoso.

Organisers also acknowledged the event’s sponsors, including CFL-FM96, Tourism Fiji, Rosie Holidays, Paradise Beverages, Coca-Cola, Fiji Airways, Vodafone, Beach Club Wailoaloa, and Pure Fiji.

As tickets are selling fast, fans are encouraged to secure theirs now for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend.
