The concert, at Lawson Tama Stadium, Honiara, was intended to celebrate the first hundred days of RAMSI’s military and policing intervention, and was attended by around 15,000 local people. It included performances by local and Australian acts, including the RMC Band, deployed under Operation Anode, Australia’s military and policing contribution to RAMSI.
