MOTHER’S DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL AIM TO SUPPORT CANCER CARE

The Mother’s Day Charity Music Festival is set to be a landmark fundraising event dedicated to supporting cervical cancer care across Papua New Guinea.

Ticket sales officially launched earlier this week through an exclusive partnership with Fone Haus and have been available to the public since March 19, 2026.

Foster Noonan, National Operations Manager of Fone Haus Limited, expressed the company's commitment to the cause, stating that they are “really proud of Fone Haus for supporting the We Are One Foundation with this charity music festival.”

Organized by the We Are One Foundation; the festival is scheduled for 10 May 2026 at the Sir Hubert Murray Stadium.

 All proceeds generated from the event will directly benefit the Cervical Cancer Unit at Port Moresby General Hospital.

Attendees can choose from several pricing tiers, including K80 for general admission, K160 for grandstand seating, and a K250 family package, while children under the age of six are granted free entry.

To ensure a comfortable experience, families are encouraged to bring their own picnic mats, chairs, and blankets for the day's festivities.

The event boasts an impressive lineup of local and international talent, featuring 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.

Reflecting on the deeper purpose of the gathering, WAO Director Kavitha Bluett said, “The Mother’s Day Charity Music Festival is not just about music and celebration.”

“It is about coming together as a community to support the health and wellbeing of our mothers.”

“Every ticket purchased contributes towards strengthening the Cervical Cancer Unit and helping save lives.”

Furthermore, organizers continue to call upon families, businesses, and local communities to attend and stand behind this vital health initiative.
