Talent Africa Group (TAG), East Africa’s premier 360-degree entertainment company, has celebrated the highest success this year, confirming 2025 as the most active, diverse, and commercially successful event season in Uganda’s party history.
The company’s ability to seamlessly manage concurrent high-stakes projects, from diplomatic launches to mass-market festivals, has cemented its position as an industry leader, consistently offering exceptional value for money to both audiences and clients.
Highlights of a Record-Breaking Year
TAG’s success was driven by three core areas that significantly shaped the year:
1. Logistical Triumphs in Diplomacy and Industry
Talent Africa Group proved its capacity to operate at the highest levels of national importance, managing concurrent events that required precision and security:
- Presidential & Diplomatic Coordination: In September, TAG provided critical support for the events surrounding the official visit of His Highness the Aga Khan. This included the launch of the new academic facilities at the Aga Khan University (AKU) campus and the official ground-breaking for the future Aga Khan University Hospital, Kampala.
- Mega-Factory Launch: In November, the team was simultaneously involved in the successful organization of the ground-breaking ceremony for the Devki Steel and National Cement Mega Factory in Tororo, a $500 million project attended by three regional Heads of State. Successfully managing security and protocol for such an industrial event alongside cultural festivals underscores TAG’s world-class logistical capability.
2. Championing Ugandan Music, Comedy, and Culture
2025 was defined by TAG’s commitment to providing international-standard platforms for local artists, ensuring every event was filled with music, fun, and greatness:
- A Golden Jubilee: The Afrigo Band Golden Jubilee concert on August 16th, 2025, was a cultural masterpiece. TAG collaborated with Stanbic Bank (via FlexiPay) to offer tickets starting from an accessible UGX 60,000, ensuring the historic celebration was accessible to all fans and setting a new bar for corporate-backed cultural events.
- Comedy’s New Stage: The Comedy Grill of Anne Kansiime on May 9th, 2025, provided a unique, high-production, and safe environment for local comedians, offering early bird tickets at a discounted UGX 80,000 for a premium experience at the Kampala Sheraton Gardens.
- Dance Excellence: In March, the inaugural Uganda Dance Nights, in collaboration with ValRich Arts, brought international stars like two-time Strictly Come Dancing champion Oti Mabuse to the Kampala Serena Hotel, fulfilling the promise of an “unforgettable experience” that fused Latin and Ugandan cultural traditions.
3. Investing in Tomorrow’s Talent
TAG continues to nurture the next generation of Ugandan superstars. This focus was highlighted by the sold-out inaugural concert of rising music sensation Joshua Baraka, “Into The B’Raka Land,” on November 29th, 2025, which successfully launched the artist into the next phase of his career.
Looking Ahead: The 2026 Expansion
With 2025’s record-breaking success complete, Talent Africa Group is thrilled to announce a significant expansion of its event schedule for 2026. The company is set to launch new high-profile event properties and secure even larger international acts, leveraging the momentum built from its reputation for logistical excellence and public safety.
“2025 was about setting the benchmark—proving that Ugandan event production can stand side-by-side with the best in the world,“ said Aly Alibhai, CEO of Talent Africa Group. “We delivered excellence in complex diplomatic, corporate, and cultural settings. For 2026, we are announcing that we have an aggressive schedule of more major events lined up, focusing on securing international headline tours and developing even larger-scale local talent platforms. The stage is set for an even bigger and more spectacular year for East African entertainment.”
