One of the biggest bands to ever come out of Fiji, the Black Rose will headline the Vodafone Music Festival tonight at Albert Park.
Vodafone Head of Public Relations and Sponsorship, Adriu Vakarau says the Music Fest is to celebrate Vodafone’s 30 years of operations in Fiji.
Vakarau says the band, Black Rose has not performed in Fiji for the last couple of years so they want to bring them out for people to enjoy the free concert.

Vakarau says they have already had bands like Vude Queen Laisa Vulakoro, Saimoni Vuatalevu, Mata Dance Fiji, ManaVa Perfoming Arts Fiji, Savuto, VLY, Leba Boi Yawa and Bigwilz as well as Georgina Ledua.
He says coming up tonight are YoungBlood and Tunite, VT1s artists Ju Ben, Liz Vamarasi and Billy T followed by the headlining act Black Rose from 8pm.
The Head of Public Relations says they are ending Vodafone’s Birthday celebrations with a bang tonight.

Also spotted at the free concert was First Fighter Editor and Producer Dave Lavaki with his family out enjoying the sun and music.
