Uganda’s most controversial, hyped, and debated event Nyege Nyege Festival is officially back and is about to be wild from November 20th to 23rd.
The theme, “Ekiggunda Ky’omuliro” – literally, a festival of fire. Because what else would you expect from a decade of unapologetic musical madness, borderline witchcraft, art, sweat, and international vibes?
But plot twist – Nyege Nyege is leaving Jinja. Yep, for the first time in ten years, the festival is packing up its speakers, glitter, and controversy, and relocating to the lush chaos of Kalagala Falls in Kayunga District — right along the River Nile.
Organisers say it’s a chance to shake things up and show off Uganda’s raw, untamed beauty. Think green jungles, waterfalls, ancestral energy, and four days of non-stop sonic vibrations. It’s not just a venue switch — it’s a whole spiritual shift.
Now, as expected, the moral police are already shaking in their cassocks and calling for a full-on shutdown. Pastors? Furious. Politicians? Dramatic. Twitter? Already cooking threads. But Nyege loyalists are screaming louder: it’s culture, economy, tourism, and vibes in one sweaty, glorious package.
Let’s not lie — Nyege Nyege is not for the weak. It’s for the music heads, the wanderers, the artists, the misfits, the spiritual ravers, and the soft-life squad that just wants to escape capitalism for 96 hours.
Whether you’re going to find yourself, lose your phone, or finally wear those outfits you can’t rock in Kampala, one thing is guaranteed: Nyege 2025 is going to be bigger, bolder, and way more ungovernable.
See you at Kalagala Falls. Or stay home and judge — your choice 😌
