With the picturesque back drop of the Waikato River in the background, Toni Childs was next to take to stage early afternoon and entertained concert goers with her unmistakable hits , entertaining them with her journey of her musical career with songs including Don’t Walk Away, Stop Your Fussin’ and Zimbabwe.
Next up was an incredible set from James Reyne and Mark Seymour, where they each performed individually and then joined forces to perform their well-known hits such as The Boys Light Up, Reckless, Holy Grail, and Throw Your Arms Around Me, finishing up with an awesome rendition of Talking Heads Psycho Killer.
