Uganda is about to experience a historic night of smooth jazz as world-renowned saxophone legend Kenny G makes his debut performance in Kampala. The Grammy Award-winning icon will perform live on Sunday, 28th September 2025 at The Mestil Hotel, with Fenon Events in charge of production.
This once-in-a-lifetime concert is being organized by Malembe Lifestyle, the events powerhouse behind some of East Africa’s biggest shows. Kenny G, the best-selling instrumentalist in history with over 75 million records sold, is known for timeless classics like “Songbird,” “Forever in Love,” and “Sentimental.” His Kampala performance promises an intimate, soulful journey through the music that has defined smooth jazz for decades.
Malembe’s Events Director, Afsa Umutesi, described the concert as a landmark achievement for Uganda’s entertainment scene. “Bringing Kenny G to Kampala is a historic achievement and a testament to Uganda’s growing stature on the international entertainment map. We are crafting an immersive and luxurious experience for our audience,” she said.
The show is proudly sponsored by MTN Uganda, continuing its streak of backing both local and global acts, including last year’s sold-out Boyz II Men concert. MTN Uganda CMO Sylvia El Sheikh said the brand is excited to be part of this milestone, calling it an unforgettable experience for jazz lovers.
Tickets are already on sale via the MoMo app and Quicket, with early bird Gold tickets starting at UGX 200,000 and VIP tables going for UGX 6 million.
With just one show lined up, limited seats, and the promise of pure magic from a global music legend, Kenny G’s Kampala concert is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events of 2025.
