Kali Tui is treating VT1S 2026 like a reset. She says this year she’s bringing new songs and a bigger band to FMF Gymnasium this Saturday.

She will perform more than eight songs. The main moment will be the first live performances of Tadra and Galala.

“I have new songs such as Tadra and Galala, which I haven’t performed on a big super stage,” she said.

“Yes, so this will be the first time.”

The show will be semi-live, with DJ Unikk Kelly and Izzy on drums to push the festival vibe.

“It’s going to be a semi-live set. It’s going to be awesome. It’s going to be festival music,” she said.

This is her third year performing. She calls it her first time back as a more seasoned artist. She shares the night with Myshaan on his second Fiji appearance, plus DJ Drishant, the Room Core Gang and Young Blood.

“I’m excited to perform live on stage again as a new person.”

“To everybody who’s been supporting me since day one, thank you so much for the love, support and encouragement throughout my years and career here at the VT1s.”

Tickets are $30 GA and $100 VIP on Ticketmax.

The concert will be held this Saturday at the FMF Gymnasium with gates opening at 4pm and a total of 39 artists performing.
