The Nyege Nyege Festival

Nyege Nyege stands for peace, respect and abundant joy, it stands for Africa and Africans, for underground music and musicians, it stands for fun and curiosity and strives towards inclusivity and wonder, something of a perfect world you might say, but it’s only 4 days after all. Born out of an act of sheer collective madness in the rainy season of 2015 (after which it moved to the dry season…), Nyege Nyege Festival is now considered the most important 4-day international music festival in East Africa for both its one of a kind curation and its unique afropolitan party vibe.

The Festival is the platform which showcases new productions and artists, making it a highlight for both audiences and musicians alike.

The festival takes place in a breathtaking forest on the shores of the Nile River, known as the Nile discovery resort just a few minutes away from the Source and includes a brand new camping village in 2018. It is a celebration of Ugandan culture and African music, and the “Spirit of UG” is ever present. In 2017, it was voted Uganda’s event of the year.

Nyege Nyege is all about DANCING, because when the Nyege hits you, when the urge to dance, move or shake is no longer controllable, then you must let go, and let your body to the DANCING!!!!
