The event comes as Nyege Nyege prepares for one of its biggest editions, with more than 200 artists expected to perform across seven stages.
This year’s festival will run under the theme “The Wakaliwood Edition”, following a partnership with Uganda’s internationally recognised film movement, Wakaliwood.
The collaboration will turn parts of the festival grounds into a movie set, where artists, performers and revellers will take part in the filming of a new Wakaliwood production.

Filmmaker Isaac G.G. Nabwana has confirmed that the festival will serve as an active film set for Wakaliwood’s next feature film.
The November event will also feature performances from Ugandan stars, including King Saha, Etania and Abeeka Band, alongside regional and international artists.
Popular music platforms such as Boiler Room will return, while dedicated Kenyan and Rwandan performances will showcase East Africa’s growing music scene.
Organisers have also announced improvements at Kalagala Falls, including better parking, easier movement around the venue and expanded accommodation.
A camping village with space for about 1,000 people will allow more visitors to stay close to the festival grounds.
The festival will also offer tourism and adventure activities along the Nile, giving visitors opportunities to explore Uganda beyond the music.
Founded in Kampala in 2015, Nyege Nyege has grown into one of Africa’s recognised music and cultural festivals, attracting performers and visitors from across the world.
Tonight’s Halloween celebration offers Kampala revellers an early opportunity to experience the festival atmosphere before the main event returns to the Nile next month.
