This landmark event not only celebrated three decades of the king’s reign but also highlighted Uganda's rich living heritage as a major attraction for global tourism.
The four-day event began with a royal tour led by His Majesty Rukirabasaija Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, alongside HRH Princess Ruth Nsemere Komuntale Akiiki and Her Royal Majesty Queen Dr. Best Olimi Kemigisa Akiiki.
According to Bafana, the festival, with its low entry fee and a multitude of performers, is a symptom of a deeper problem that is demeaning local artists and dragging the industry backwards.
The event is not just a concert but a unique opportunity to boost tourism in Uganda, with Spice’s arrival set to highlight the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Kingdom of Buganda.

The event was a spectacular display of high fashion, with guests arriving in exquisite gowns and sharp, tailored suits, each ensemble elevated by an intricate mask.
The show, which is a staple on Kampala’s entertainment calendar, is set to be a triumphant celebration following the Uganda Cranes' emphatic win over South Africa in the CHAN 2024 tournament.

Olomide is set to headline a special guest performance at the "Legends of Sound – Afrigo at 50 Golden Jubilee Concert," a landmark celebration of Afrigo Band's five decades of musical excellence.
