​Vanuatu’s biggest music festival!

​The bells have been sounded for Vanuatu’s biggest music festival.

Fest'Napuan is held annually in Vanuatu, attracting local and international artists.

More than just a music festival, the event also provides the platform for peaceful activists from across the region to highlight issues relating to the self-determination of Pacific people.

The festival has come a long way…and this year’s Fest'Napuan has seen a few changes:

Fest'Napuan 2017 will be celebrated in association with the Pacific Mini Games, VAN2017.

For this, the body unveiled its new logo in June.

The logo incorporates VAN2017’s mascot (Nasi), VAN2017’s own logo - eternal flames of sporting friendship in Vanuatu’s national colours and uniting ‘music mo sport’, a cleverly merged guitar pours notes through Nasi into the air.

Usually organised for September or October each year, the event will this year be held in conjunction with the Pacific Games on the evenings from December 8-14.

Fest'Napuan will be relocated for one year only to Korman stadium, at the Pacific Games site at Tassariki.

But still not losing sight of bringing international and local artists together to share music, culture and sports in our region.

For international artists interested in participating in this year Fest'Napuan, you can visit the website at www.festnapuan.vu to download a copy of the application form attached with its criteria. Please read conditions before applying.
