kmfm's Rob Wills will be playing tunes to warm up the crowd first before support act singer songwriter and YouTube star Samantha Harvey performs, followed by R&B soloist Bobii Lewis.

Speaking to kmfm earlier this week, Craig said of the gig “I love being on stage and I want to create memories. I want people to think ‘you played that song my parents used to play and that song that I’ve just discovered’... It’s going to be wicked.”

Rita Ora, who takes to the stage next, has had hits including For You - the title track from 50 Shades of Grey alongside Liam Payne - and comes to the outdoor concert fresh from an indoor tour earlier this year.
