Announcing the changes, the organizers of the concert stated that the rescheduling was due to circumstances beyond their control. However, the statement did not specify the exact reasons.
They confirmed that those who had already purchased tickets could still use them on the new concert date.
The concert, dubbed 'Sol Fest Kigali Pre Party,' will precede the main 'Sol Fest' event, which is set to take place in Nairobi, Kenya, from December 19 to 21, 2024.
The Kigali concert will feature performances by Savara Mudigi, Bien-Aimé Baraza, Willis Chimano, and Polycarp Otieno, also known as Fancy Fingers, the founders of Sauti Sol.
The event will also include performances by artists such as Mike Kayihura and Ariel Wayz, while DJs such as DJ Sonia and DJ June will be mixing the music.
It is expected that there will be a VIP 'Sol Fest' concert on December 19, 2024, followed by the main concert for music lovers on December 21, 2024. The events will feature top Kenyan singers and rappers like Khaligraph Jones and Nyashinski.
The concert aims to preserve the legacy and honour of Sauti Sol and follows last year's event in 2023, which was attended by more than 15,000 fans.
Sauti Sol, known for their numerous hit songs such as Sura Yako, Suzanna, Short N Sweet, and Live and Die in Africa, was formed in 2005. The group announced an indefinite hiatus in 2023.
The hiatus, the band said, would allow them to pursue individual and collective passions after 18 years of doing music together.
