The world's biggest Pacific dance festival is getting ready to take the stage in Auckland next week - but for the first time the show will go on without any crowds.
Because of Omicron the festival will also be a shadow of its former self - the number of groups has dropped from around 200 pre-Covid to just 68.
There's also a call to make sure performers have rapid antigen tests before they arrive on site.
