Last night Festival Director Te Miringa Hohaia announced the first confirmed acts for the fifth anniversary Parihaka International Peace Festival, held at the historic Parihaka Pa in South Taranaki between 7 and 11 January 2010.

"We will be announcing another thirty acts or so before our event, including a couple of the top players in the NZ music industry."

Two stages will again feature at the festival, along with a speakers' forum, film tent, extended children's recreation and more. Apart from his mainstage performance, King Kapisi will host a performers' workshop for teenagers. Acclaimed choirmaster Stephen Taberner will again organise and rehearse the Parihaka Festival Choir.
