Check out our playlist for a taste of what you can expect – and discover more about the artists, below.

Aotearoa-based viral hip-hop dance icons. They’ve had the whole world obsessed with Polyswagg energy since Bieber’s Sorry clip, backing it up with iconic Super Bowl halftime appearances with Rihanna and J.Lo.

Lead choreographer Parris Goebel coined the term ‘Polyswagg’, to describe the Crew’s distinct style – a portmanteau of ‘Polynesian’ and ‘swagg’ (confidence) that mixes ‘sassy woman fire with aggressive inner strength.’

For God Save the Queens, The Royal Family Dance Crew will lead the crowd in a massive, full-Square version of their viral videoclip dance for Justin Bieber’s Sorry.

Check out the videoclip below.

Dancer and Ru Paul Down Under and All Stars drag superstar. Kong-sized stage presence, all-round fierce Kween.

Kween Kong will be our God Save the Queens MC. All rise.

The London-based Pacifika club queen and dancer-turned-DJ’s 2022 Melbourne Boiler Room set is the stuff of legend. Now she’s set to shaka Fed Square.

The NZ-based DJ is about decolonising the d-floor, ass-shaking and bringing the rave to the revolution.

Rap and reggae meet dancehall, as two rising stars of Aoeteroa’s music scene join forces.

Experimental electronica meets traditional Pacifika sounds and song. Boundary-pushing, soul-shaking, life-affirming.
