In a recent video she posted on her Instagram, Karungi explicitly sends out a verbal invitation to the public, her fans, and the music industry to attend the festival.

Karungi announced the festival over a month ago and slotted it for 15th September. According to Karungi, the festival is an outdoor cultural celebration of music. 

"Yolo festival. This is a never before seen festival. It is not my concert, it is nobody's concert. It is a festival for everyone. My fans Sheebaholics, come and let's have fun. Fans of all artists, come let's have fun. It is about celebrating us (artists) and celebrating you. So this Yolo festival is about you my fans, and our fans, and the music industry, and entertainment," Karungi says during a Q&A meeting.
