Nyege Nyege fever is officially on after organisers confirmed Adrift Uganda at Kalagala Falls as the brand-new home for the festival’s 10th anniversary, showcasing a unique environment where partiers are expected to flock this weekend.
During a media tour and press briefing held today at the scenic venue, Talent Africa Group assured fans that everything is locked, loaded and polished for the four-day party starting Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd November.
Talent Africa boss Aly Allibhai told journalists that after weeks of intense groundwork, all teams are fully ready to deliver a smooth and safe edition. Security remains the hottest priority, with all national security agencies already deployed and working hand-in-hand with festival management.
Aly Allibhai hyped this year’s setup as “a premium celebration of music, culture and community,” promising crazy stage designs, world-class sound, top lighting setups, art installations, cultural showcases and upgraded hospitality sections. Food and bar services have also been fortified, with the festival promising strict operations and creative experiences everywhere you turn.
Organisers also pushed fans to secure tickets early, saying MTN MoMo’s UGX 150,000 weekend pass is the “sweetest deal of 2025.”
And because Nyege Nyege loves adventure, this year comes with a tourism twist. Through their partnership with Adrift Uganda and the Lemara Group, festival-goers can now jump into white-water rafting, bungee jumping priced at UGX 200K, quad biking and river cruises. Both Uganda Tourism Board and Adrift will run booking desks on-site with special packages for international guests ready to explore the Nile.
Adrift’s representative Peter Mubeezi assured fans that the venue is more than ready, boasting massive space for all the chaos, fun and multiple stages.
Brand-new curated spaces will also debut this year, including UGX Village, a buzzing cultural marketplace, and The Hive, which will host music conferences, keynote sessions, podcasts and networking for delegates including booking agents, label executives and international partners.
For transport, organisers advised partiers coming from Kampala to use the Gayaza–Kayunga route up to Kangulumira Town, where all tickets will be verified before free shuttle buses transport revelers straight to Adrift Uganda.
