FNPF-Owned IHG Hotels Champion Fiji’s Creative Industry as Official Supporters of ResFest 2025

Tuesday 10th June 2025 (Natadola, Fiji): In a show of support for Fiji’s flourishing music scene, the FNPF-owned IHG Hotels — InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, Grand Pacific Hotel, and Holiday Inn Suva — have joined forces with Resonance Entertainment as supporting partners for the upcoming ResFest: Our Journey concert, taking place on 14 June 2025 at Vodafone Arena, Suva, Fiji.

The landmark event celebrates the rise of homegrown Fijian music talent, uniting beloved local acts including InsideOut, KUKI, Vegas 6, Marama, and Fo Sho — names that are not only crowd favourites but have also played pivotal roles in redefining Fiji’s sound both locally and abroad.

“At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we recognise that culture is at the core of every great guest experience — and music is one of the most powerful expressions of that culture,” comments Lachlan Walker, Regional General Manager, Fiji and Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Our partnership with Resonance Entertainment reflects our continued commitment to celebrating local talent, deepening our community connections, and championing the creative industries that help define our region.”

As part of their contribution, each hotel will sponsor exclusive lucky door prizes — offering complimentary stays that highlight the spirit of hospitality and cultural pride deeply rooted in Fiji.

“ResFest isn’t just a concert — it’s a declaration that Fijian music matters,” comments Apakuki Nalawa, Managing Director, Resonance Entertainment. “We are telling our stories, in our voices, on our terms. Having FNPF-owned IHG Hotels stand with us reinforces that our creative industries are not just valid — they are vital to the Pacific's future. ResFest is not just a concert — it’s a celebration of musical diversity and Fijian identity, and we’re honoured to support this vibrant expression of Pacific storytelling.”

Local musicians, including Apakuki Nalawa, regularly perform across all three hotels, reinforcing an ongoing commitment to nurturing Fijian talent and enriching the guest experience through live local music.

Tickets are now on sale via TicketMax, with three tiers available: General Admission at FJ$30, VIP at FJ$100, and Premium at FJ$200 (booking fees apply). All ticket holders, regardless of tier, will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a chance to win exclusive giveaways, including complimentary hotel stays sponsored by FNPF-owned IHG Hotels.

The event will feature live performances from top Resonance acts including KUKI, InsideOut, Vegas 6, Marama, and Fo Sho. Attendees can also enjoy food vendors, merchandise stalls, and family-friendly entertainment throughout the evening.
