Twelve of the country’s top local and international artists will perform free at the Mother’s Day Charity Music Festival on 10 May 2026 at Sir Hubert Murray Stadium, Port Moresby city.
The festival will feature performances by Justin Wellington, Mal Maninga Kuri, Nathan Nakikus, Philip Roy Chan, Jay Rex, Stagaja Band, Chris Cobb, Isaiah Manoi, Mereani Masani, Estapacifica, Irau Jessie, and Aalliyah Nali. Each artist will perform three to four of their hit songs, giving their time without fees.
Proceeds from the event will support the Cervical Cancer Unit at Port Moresby General Hospital.
Douglas Avusi, Project Coordinator of the We Are One Foundation (WAO), said the festival is a family-focused event aimed at raising funds for women’s health. He emphasized that the event will be alcohol-free and family friendly.
“There will be no tolerance for alcohol or substances. The focus is on enjoying music while supporting the cause,” Avusi said.
Security will be provided by NCDC and the Police to ensure a safe environment and prevent any unwanted incidents.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will also be present, offering a variety of food and beverage stalls. Public members who wish to participate as vendors may rent booths for K350.
Event guidelines include strictly no alcohol inside the stadium and bag checks at the entrance to maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
WAO encourages families, businesses, and communities to purchase tickets and take part in the festival. The event promises live music, food stalls, and activities for children, while uniting the community in support of women’s health.
