‘American Idol’ winner Iam Tongi to headline concert in July

Tickets are now available for Iam Tongi headlining the Ohana Day 2023 concert July 2 at the Turtle Bay Resort.

Tongi made history in May when he became the first person with Hawaii ties to win “American Idol.” The Ohana Day concert will be his first public performance in Hawaii as “American Idol ” champion.

Tongi will share the stage with Likkle Jordee and Na Hoku Hanohano Award winners Kapena, Paula Fuga and Natural Vibrations. A portion of the proceeds will help fund I Can, I Will Hawaii, a Hawaii-­based youth advocacy organization that brings teens into contact with inspirational island athletes, entertainers and community leaders.

A spokesperson for the concert describes Ohana Day as “family friendly.” Vendor booths and food trucks will be available with bar access for people 21 and older with proof of age. Admission is free for people age 5 and under.
