PROMISELAND 2022
Australia’s first music festival blending Afrobeats, Reggae, Hip Hop & RnB hit the Gold Coast on October 1st with a good dose of rain on Day 1 but it didn't dampen the more than 22,000 deep festival revellers.
Day One's lineup featured a number of your fave Pasifika artists including Ardijah, Three Houses Down, Nesian Mystik + some of the newer artists on the rise - Lisi, HP Boyz & Yungn Lipz
Day Two's Pasifika lineup featured the likes of Scribe, SammyJ + Common Kings with Dinah Jane and other international acts such as UB40, Wyclef, Central Cee, Blxst & more.
An incredible lineup put on by two young Samoan promoters - Bernard Kumar & Andy Tu'umaga (and their team) - their first time putting together a festival of this scale.
We're already looking forward to what they come up with for Promiseland 2023.
