Come the 30th, 31st of December, and 1st of January, Kampala is going to be experiencing a new event in Terminal festival happening at two venues, Lugogo cricket Oval and Skyz hotel Naguru respectively.
After happening in countries like Kuwait, Oman, the UK, and Kenya, the first-ever Ugandan edition is going to be headlined by Camidoh whose ‘Sugarcane’ jam is still topping charts in Uganda.
According to the organizers Daniel Ebo and Chris Bitti, the event is going to feature 25 artists of which 10 are going to be outsiders from across Africa and Europe performing alongside Ugandan acts.
Among these include Camidoh from Ghana, DopeNation from Ghana, Ya Levis from France, Marioo from Tanzania, Shasha from Zimbabwe, Black Motion from South Africa, DJ Edu from London, and DJ Lochive from South Africa among others.

According to Chris Bitti, besides the music, the event experience is what sets Terminal Kampala apart from other events. “From experiential games to using technology to run the event, to a properly themed event, I believe that we are raising the bar. You’ll just have to come and see. Words fail.” He said.
“We are not here to just get money but to also support the Ugandan entertainment industry by creating employment, working with young entrepreneurs, SME’s and sharing the knowledge and experience we have gained from our previous events and bringing something special that focuses on a heightened consumer experience,” adds Mr. Daniel Ebo.
