With three days to go till Homecoming Festival 2025, it promises to be even bigger and better with more than 30 of the Pacific’s finest artists, with three days full of nonstop action, music, lights and food on offer.

The Festival will have headliners for each day with Spawnbreezie for the “Roots Reggae Rhythm” on Friday, Maoli on Saturday with “Country Style” and Common Kings and J Boog on Sunday with the “Island Vibez” rounding out the three days.

People can look out for J Boog, Maoli, Common Kings, Spawnbreezie, Sammy Johnson, Sons of Zion, Aaradhna, Irie Love, Swiss, Tomorrow People, The Gang, Lomez Brown, Fejoint, Billy T, Ratu, Nicky, Tree, Steve Macomber, Justin Wellington, House of Shem, Etu, Black Rose Reunion, Finn Gruva, KKU, Paradise Roots, Juben and Richard Parker.

One thing that will be certain is people coming in from around the Pacific and around the world to honour the founder of Homecoming Festival George "F1J1" Veikoso, honour his legacy, celebrate his life, and bring to life his dream and vision for Homecoming Festival.

The organisers say to expect heartfelt tributes and powerful performances dedicated to the Legend and King of Island Reggae, F1J1.

Event Director Moe Coffey says progress is going really well and their dedicated team is working around the clock to deliver an unforgettable experience for Brother George ‘FIJI’ Veikoso and every one attending.

Gates will open daily from 1pm, giving attendees ample time to enjoy music, performances, and festival activities.

Detailed set times for each artist will be released this week to help fans plan their festival experience.

Adding to the Homecoming experience is the Made in Fiji Makete, a lively marketplace showcasing local talent and flavors.

The Makete will feature 14 food vendors offering delicious local and international cuisine, alongside non-food vendors selling arts, crafts, and unique festival merchandise.

The market will be open from 11am daily, with non-ticket holders welcome to come and experience the taste and flavours of Fiji.

Festival-goers can also get their hands on official festival merchandise, including the official George FIJI Tribute t-shirt, available exclusively at the festival.

Be sure to grab these keepsakes early to commemorate the celebration and support the legacy of George ‘FIJI’ Veikoso.
