Throw on your dancing shoes and come boogie down with us to the funky, soulful rhythms of Island Vibes. Let it all out and dance like nobody’s watching, then head on out for an opening night show or a hangout at the Festival Garden in the golden hour sunlight. Good vibes, guaranteed!
Island Vibes are a nine-piece multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary Pacific funk band. After their feel-good Festival debut in 2025 they return by popular demand, performing both groove classics and raw original songs to launch three weeks of festivities in trademark foot-tapping, hip-moving style.
